Diego López de Zúñiga, Latin: Jacobus Lopis Stunica (ca.
1470 in Estremadura - 1531 in Naples) was a Spanish humanist and biblical scholar noted for his controversies with Erasmus and Lefèvre d'Etaples[1] and leadership of the team of editors for the Complutensian Polyglot Bible.
He was born around 1470 in Extremadura, to an aristocratic family; his brother Íñigo López de Mendoza y Zúñiga was a diplomat for Charles V of Spain.
[3] López de Zúñiga controverted Erasmus on a number of points of Biblical translation.
A contemporary view is that, while at times he defended the Latin Vulgate excessively, he made valid points in some other cases and showed up deficiencies of Erasmus who lacked the same command of Hebrew and Aramaic.
