This article appears in Volume V16, Page 312 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LAYNEZ (or LAINEZ), DIEGO (1512-1565) , the second general of the Society of Jesus, was born in Castile, and after studying at Alcala joined
Ignatius
  of Loyola in Paris, being one of the six who with Loyola in August 1534 took the vow of missionary
work
  in Palestine in the Montmartre
church
 . This plan fell through, and
Laynez
  became professor of scholastic theology at Sapienza. After the order had been definitely established (1540)
Laynez
  was sent to Germany. He was one of the
pope
 's theologians at the
council
  of Trent (q.v.), where he played a weighty and decisive
part
 . When Loyola died in 1556 Laynez acted as
vicar
  of the society, and two years later became general. Before his death at Rome, on the 19th of January 1565, he had immensely strengthened the despotic constitution of the order and developed its educational activities (see
JESUITS
 ).
His Disputationes Tridentinae were published in 2 volumes in 1886. Lives by Michel d'Esne (Douai, 1597) and Pet. Ribadeneira (Madrid, 1592; Lat. trans. by A. Schott, Antwerp, 1598). See also H. Muller, Les Origines de la Compagnie de Jesus: Ignace et Lainez
(1898).
