Sanchez, Gaspar, a learned Jesuit, was born at Ci- fuentes, in New Castile, about 1553. He was appointed to teach the learned languages and belles-lettres in the Jesuit colleges at Oropesa, Madrid, and other places, and was at last chosen professor of divinity at Alcala. Here he spent thirteen years in commenting on the Scriptures, the result of which he published in various volumes in folio. He died in 1628. See Chalmers, Bioff. Diet. s. v.
Sanchez, Pedro Antonio, a learned Spanish ecclesiastic, was l)orn at Vigo, in (iallicia, in 1740. He entered the Church, obtained a canonry in the Cathedral of St. James, and was likewise appointed professor of divinity in tliat city. His fame procured for him ad- mission into many learned societies. He was celebrated as a preacher and admired for his benevolence, spending his income to aid the poor, so that, at his death in 1806, he left no more tiian was barely sufficient to defray the expenses of his funeral. Among his works are ^iimnta TheoloffUB Sacrm (Madrid, 1789, 4 vols. 4to) : — Annules Sacra (ibid. 1784, 2 vols. 8vo) -.—Hist, of the Church of Africa (ibid. 1784,8vo) :— yl Treatise on Toleration, etc. (ibid. 1785, 3 vols. 4to), and others.
Sanchez, Thomas, a celebrated Poman casuist, was born nt Cordova in 1550. liaised in Pomish piety, he joined tlic Jesuits in his sixteenth year. He studied philiisdpliy, law, and theology with great success; was punctual in the fuliilment of all Church duties; and, at an early a<;e, enjoyed a high reputation throughout Spain and Italy. His fame as a casuist was so great that he was often personally applied to for the solution
of specific cases. He died at Granada in 1610. His work Be Sacramento Matrimonii (Genu*, 1592, 3 vols.) occupies a high place in Jesuitical casuistry. It treats of every variety of obscene and immoral ques- tions, and is justly regarded as indirectly contributive to the very immorality which it formally condemns. Pope Clement YIII used the work in preparing a solu- tion of a specific case, and pronounced upon it the high- est praise. But others have vigorously assailed it, even in the Roman Church. Arnauld of St. Cyr attacked it in his Vindicice Censures Fucultatis Parisiensis (see Bayle, Dictioimaire [art. "Sanchez"], iv, 134). After Sanchez's death appeared Ojjeris Moralis in Praceptis Dei Tonius I (Yenet. 1614) : — Consilia sen Opuscula Mo- ralia (Lugd. 1634). His complete w'orks appeared at Venice in 1740, in 7 vols.

Sanchez de Arevalo, Eoderigo, generally known as Roelericus Sanctus. a Spanish prelate, was born at Santa Maria de Nieva, in the diocese of Se- govia, in 1404. After receiving his classical education at the University of Salamanca, and obtaining the de- gree of doctor, he entered the Church, and was made successively archdeacon of Trevino (in the diocese of Burgos), dean of Leon, and dean of Seville. About 1440 John II of Castile sent him as ambassador to Frederick HI, and he was afterwards sent by Henry IV of Castile to congratulate pope Calixtus III upon his accession. On the accession of Paul II, Sanchez, who had been pre- vailed upon by his predecessor to settle at Pome, was appointed hj that pope governor of the Castle of St. An- gelo and keeper of the jewels and treasures of the Poman Church, and in' course of time promoted to the bishop- rics of Zamora, Calahorra, and Palencia. He died at Rome Oct. 10, 1470, and was interred in the Church of Santiago dei Spagnuoli. He wrote the following works : Speculum Vilce Jlumance (Pome, 1468, fol.) : — Epistola de Expurpiatione, etc. (fol.): — CompeiHliosa Historia Hispanica (Pome, 1470, 4to ; Frankfort, 1603) : — Liber de Origine ac Differentia Principtatus (Rome, 1521). Many other works in MS. are in the Vatican Library. See Chalmers, Bioij. Diet. s. v. ; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Ge- nerate, s. V.
Sanchoniatho (Sayi^^oiTiftSwr), the supposed author of a Pha'uician history of Phoenicia and Egypt, called <boirii:iKa. He has been the subject of much discussion involving his place of birth, his works, and, indeed, his very existence. Our principal information respecting him is derived from Philo Byblius, a Greek writer at the beginning of the 2d centurj' A.D. Ac- cording to him, Sanchoniatho lived during the reign of Semiramis, and dedicated his book to Avibalus, king of Berytus. The general nature of the work is in itself sufficient to prove it to be a forgery, and yet the ques- tion remains whether the name Sanchoniatho was a pure invention of Philo or not. Movers supposes that it was the name of the sacred books of the Phoenicians, and that its original form was San-Chon-iath, which might be represented in the Hebrew characters by 'Q T^U^ '13, that is, "the entire law of Chon." On this etymology we offer no opinion. According to Suidas, he also wrote a book on the theology of the Egyptians. See Smith, Diet, of Gr. and Pom. Biog. s. v.
