CALDERA (CALDEIRA), FERNANDO. - Spanish mystical writer, of the Order of Minims, b. in Madrid ca. 1560, d. there in 1633. After completing his studies, he entered the Minims in the Madrid convent "La Victoria". He distinguished himself as a preacher in various places and as a director of souls.
He published: Mystica theologia et exercitium fidei divinae et orationis mentalis (Madrid 1623; new enlarged editions 1629 and 1632). This work, remarkable for its soundness of doctrine, based on the Gospel and on the works of St. Teresa and St. John of the Cross, was translated into Italian (Mistica teologia e esercitio di fede viva et oratione mentale, Rome 1638) and into French by Fr. Court (Paris 1636). Also remembered are a Sermón en el día de s. Francisco de Paula (Alcalá 1622) and Mistica teologia y discreción de espíritus (Valencia 1652).
