Biography
Born in Liédena, Navarre, on 11 February 1836, Mendive studied at tha Seminary of Pamplona.[1][2] He joined the Society of Jesus and has been described as a convinced Carlist.[3][4] He was the author of a general treatise on metaphysics, published in Valladolid in 1883.[3] From 1896 his eyesight deteriorated, and so he dedicated himself to hearing confessions in Burgos and Santander.[5] He died in Santander on 13 March 1906.[3][2]
Mendive wrote numerous works on philosophy and some on theology.[2] Between 1886 and 1888, he translated the various volumes of his Elementos of philosophy into Latin for use in seminaries, publishing them in six volumes under the title Institutiones Philosophiae Scholasticae ad mentem Divi Thomae ac Suarezii.[6][2] This work served as the standard philosophy manual at the Pontifical Seminary of Comillas and later at Comillas Pontifical University during its early years.[6]
