Tomaso Malvenda (1566 – 7 May 1628) was a Spanish Dominican exegete and historical critic.
He entered the Dominicans in his youth; at the age of thirty-five, he seems to have already taught philosophy and theology.
Here, he was an adviser to the cardinal, while also employed in revising the Dominican Breviary, annotating Brasichelli's[1] Index Expurgatorius, and writing some annals of the order (they were published against his wishes and without his revision).
Returning to Spain in 1608, Malvenda undertook a new version of the Old Testament in Latin, with commentaries.
The work was published at Lyon in 1650 as "Commentaria in S. Scripturam, una cum nova de verbo in verbum ex hebraeo translatione" etc.
