Jerónimo Xavierre

Jerónimo Xavierre (Zaragoza, 1546 – Valladolid, 8 September 1608) was a Spanish Dominican theologian.

After spending ten years in the School and General Study of Tortosa, as a student and then as a professor, he returned to his land towards the end of 1575.

During the following years, he alternated his university work with the charge of prior of the preachers of Zaragoza.

He worked as a trainer and reformer in the religious life, did theological work on the question of de auxiliis, promoted the Order in the West Indies, and propulsor of the liturgy and the history of the Order.

In 1605, after the General Chapter was held in Valladolid, Jerónimo was appointed confessor by King Philip III.
