SALES, MARCO. - Theologian and exegete, b. at Sommariva Bosco (Turin) on 2 Oct. 1877, d. there on 7 June 1936. In 1892 he entered the Order of Dominicans; he was ordained a priest in 1900.
From 1909 to 1911 he taught theology at the Angelicum College in Rome and from 1912 to 1925 at the Theological Faculty of Fribourg. Appointed master of the Apostolic Palace (22 Oct. 1925), he continued his effective priestly and teaching ministry, especially with La S. Bibbia commentata, of which he published the New Testament (2 vols., Turin 1912-14) and a large part of the Old (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, ibid. 1919; Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, ibid. 1934; Kings, Chronicles, ibid. 1924; Ezra, Tobit, Judith, Esther, Job, ibid. 1933; Psalms, ibid. 1934).
S. presents a revision of Martini's version (v.), made on the basis of the Vulgate, and a commentary rich in information and inspired by conservative principles. His work was continued by G. Girotti, who published I Sapiensiali (1938) and Isaiah (1944).
