Life
Born 27 January 1592, Logroño, of a noble family; died 7 June 1667, Prague. [Hurter, vol. IV, col. 1-2]
- Jesuit; taught philosophy at Valladolid with great applause and began theology at Salamanca; sent to Prague in 1624, where he taught scholastic theology for 13 years in the College of St. Clement, was chancellor of the university for 12 years and prefect general of studies for 20. [Hurter, vol. IV, col. 1-2]
- Hurter adds that his virtue matched his learning: a man given to prayer, never seen at home but studying or praying, reckoned among the first lights of the Society. [Hurter, vol. IV, col. 1-2]
- Published a Cursus philosophicus (Antwerp, 1632) and Disputationes theologicae. [Hurter, vol. IV, col. 1-2]

In Prümmer's Catalogue and Haringer's Index
- “Arriaga, Rodericus de, S.J., Spanish (1592-1667), wrote Disputationes theol. in Summam S. Thomae, 8 folio volumes, Antwerp 1664 and Lyons 1647-1669. The treatise on law and justice is lacking in his works. For his other works see Hurter, Nomenclator IV, 11 sqq., who says of him: "Arriaga excels in his works by subtlety of intellect, at times perhaps excessive, by sagacity, and by profound speculation."” — Prümmer, Catalogue of authors
- [**: weighty, probabilist] “Arriaga Rodericus de, Spanish, S.J., was sent into Bohemia in 1624, was chancellor of the University of Prague, and died there in 1667.” — Haringer's index of writers (Gury-Ballerini) (p. XII, sign read on the page)
His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It
Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.

Where Our Authors Discuss Him
Each read in its full passage; the words quoted are the author's own. Where several authors say the same thing, one is quoted and the others follow “in nearly the same words”; point at a name to see his words.
| “it is saying little to maintain that one is obliged at least once a year to renew its act”Daniel quotes him among the Jesuit theologians who taught the strict precept of loving God | Daniel, Apology, ¶ 69 |
