BARRADAS, SEBASTIÃO. - A Portuguese Jesuit, born in Lisbon in 1542, he entered the novitiate there in 1558 and died in Coimbra on 14 April 1615. He was a professor of Sacred Scripture at the Universities of Coimbra and Évora, and later devoted himself to preaching, which he carried out throughout the kingdom with uncommon zeal and success.
He published two biblical commentaries, primarily intended for preachers: *Commentaria in concordiam et historiam evangelicam* (vol. 1, Coimbra 1599; complete edition in 4 vols., Mainz 1601–12; 13 reprints); *Itinerarium filiorum Israel ex Aegypto in terram repromissionis* (Lyons 1620; 5 reprints). This second work on Exodus was added as vol. 5 to the Mainz editions of 1627 and the Augsburg editions of 1643 of the Gospel Commentary.
