SCIÒ, FILIPPO. - Piarist bishop, theologian, b. at La Granja (Spain) on 28 Sept. 1738, d. at Valencia on 9 Apr. 1796. After completing his studies in Rome, he taught in various houses of his province of Castile, of which he was also provincial. He had a deep knowledge of Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Syriac.
S. is famous in Spain for the publication of the Bible in Spanish, a work never before attempted by anyone. It saw the light in Valencia in 1790 and in the following years and is notable for the profusion of notes, for the dissertations on the manner of making vernacular translations, for the chronological tables added and for the introduction prefixed to each book. On the whole a very erudite work and one of much patience. Modern critics, such as Menéndez y Pelayo, censure it as too literal a version, made directly from the Vulgate and not from the originals; but S. intended to publish a work for the people, who knew no other text than that of the Vulgate. S. also published other minor works. Nominated bishop of Segovia, death prevented him from reaching his see.
