Pedro de Palencia

To be distinguished from Pedro de Agén, bishop of Palencia (d.1139)

Pedro de Palencia (fl. 1584-1620s) was a Dominican friar and professor of Hebrew in the Convent of Saint Stephen in Salamanca.^[1] He is mainly notable for his treatise on rabbinical glosses.^[2][3] Pedro argued from the example of Jerome that knowledge of the Hebrew, over the Greek-language Septuagint translation, was needed to defend the Latin text, particularly in disputations against Jews and heretics.^[4]
