Sancho_Dávila_Toledo
Sancho Dávila Toledo (Sancho de Avila) (Ávila, Old Castile, 1546, – Plasencia, Cáceres, 6 or 7 December 1625) was a Spanish bishop. He was of a distinguished family, and was known as a learned preacher.
He completed his ecclesiastical studies and received his doctorate at the University of Salamanca. He was afterwards consecrated bishop and was, at different times, bishop of Cartagena, bishop of Jaen in Andalusia, bishop of Siguenza in Old Castile, in 1615, and, seven years later, bishop of Plasencia, where he remained until his death. He had been a confessor of Theresa of Avila.
His works in Spanish include:
- "The Veneration Due to the Bodies and Relics of Saints" (Madrid, 1611);
- "Sermons" (Baeza, 1615);
- "The Sighs of St. Augustine", from the Latin (Madrid, 1601, 1626);
- and, in manuscript, the Lives of Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas.
