ESPARZA ARTIEDA, MARTÍN DE. - Jesuit, theologian, b. at Escsároz (Navarre) on 29 March 1606, d. at Rome on 21 April 1689. He taught dogmatics at Valladolid, Salamanca, and Rome, where from 1654 he also held the office of theologian of the Order and censor of books.

When the question was then being debated whether one should say Conceptio immaculata Virginis, or Conceptio immaculatae Virginis, Alexander VII, who ordered the first manner of speaking to be adopted forever, charged E. with propounding and defending it, which he did with his first work: Conceptio immaculata B. Virginis Mariae deducta ex origine peccati originalis (Rome 1655). His principal work, however, is the Cursus theologicus (2 vols., Lyon 1666), in which he gathered various treatises already published earlier. The appendix, also published separately (Rome 1685), is notable and clear. Appendix ad quaestionem de seu licito opinionis probabilis.
