ASTETE, GASPAR. - Distinguished Spanish catechist, b. at Salamanca ca. 1537, a Jesuit in 1555; he was master of novices, rector of the Colleges of Burgos and of Villimar; d. at Burgos in 1601.
He left ascetical works: Institución y guía de la juventud cristiana (2 vols., Burgos 1572-94), continued with a Tratado del gobierno de la familia (2 vols., ibid. 1597-98). But his name remains above all linked to the Catecismo de la doctrina cristiana, one of the two catechisms most widely circulated down to our own day in Spain (A. in the north and Ripalda in the south). Editions and reprints number in the hundreds in Spain (many also in Basque) and in Spanish America; translations were also made into native languages in the missions.
