Diego De Zúñiga
:''To be distinguished from Diego López de Zúñiga (theologian) (d.1531)'' Diego de Zúñiga of Salamanca (sometimes Latinized as Didacus a Stunica) (1536–1597) was an Augustinian Hermit and academic. He is known for publishing an early acceptance of the Copernican theory. Life A student of Luis de León, he taught at the University of Osuna and the University of Salamanca. His ''In Job commentaria'' (Commentary on Job, 1584) addressed Job 9:6, in such a way as to assert that the Copernican heliocentric theory was an acceptable interpretation of Scripture. This publication made him one of a very small number of Catholic scholars of the sixteenth century who set out an explicit accommodation with the ideas of Copernicus. He did, however, subsequently change his views, on another front, philosophical rather than theological. In ''Philosophia prima pars'', written at the end of his life, he rejected Copernicanism as incompatible with Aristotelian theory on natural philosophy. ...
