CONSOBRINO (SOBRINHO), JOÃO. - Carmelite theologian, b. in Lisbon at the beginning of the 15th century, d. there on 11 January 1486 (not in 1475, as others suppose). After completing his studies at the University of Oxford and obtaining his degree in theology and in canon law (2 July 1449), he acquired through his singular learning the title of magister maximus.

Having returned to his homeland, he was a preacher and counselor to King Alfonso V of Portugal, and also an inquisitor. Later elected superior of the Portuguese province (1479), he governed it until his death, which occurred by poison administered to him by the Jews. He left an excellent treatise: De iustitia commutativa et arte campestoria ac alarum ludo (Paris 1496); and some other theological works.
