In Prümmer's Catalogue and Haringer's Index
- “Rebellus Ferdinandus, Portuguese, S.J. (On the Obligations of Justice, Religion, and Charity), born 1547, died 1608.” — Haringer's index of writers (Gury-Ballerini) (p. XXVII, 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.
Our authors disagree. Probabilist: Tanquerey. Equiprobabilist: Merkelbach. Against probabilism: Concina.
Tanquerey (n. 405) holds that equiprobabilism "does not differ substantially from moderate probabilism", and Marc (n. 86) that the moderate probabilists "agree in substantial matters with the equiprobabilists".

Rassler, S.J.; Benedict Schmier, O.S.B.; Ant. Mayr, S.J.; Eusebius Amort; Jos. Biner, S.J.; and several others.”Marc names him among those who, against the probabiliorists, teach that the certainly or notably more probable opinion must be followed | Marc, Institutiones I, n. 100 |
