DOMENIC OF SAINT TERESA. - In the world D. Alonso y Pérez, Discalced Carmelite theologian, b. in 1604 at La Alberca (Castile), d. at Madrid in 1660 (not in 1654 as others erroneously wrote).

He taught theology for 24 years in the college of Salamanca, winning much esteem also in the circles of the University. He is known under the name of "doctor consumatus" by reason of his extraordinary theological and philosophical erudition. In that period he published volumes IV and V of the celebrated Cursus theologicus Salmanticeensis (Salamanca 1647), with the treatises: De fine ultimo, de beatitudine, de voluntario, de bonitate et malitia actuum humanorum, de peccatis. He was then elected (1658) definitor general and transferred to Madrid, where he became known for his great virtue and for his inexhaustible charity toward the poor and the afflicted.
