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.
