TORQUEMADA, JUAN DE (1388-1468) , or rather JOHANNES DE TURRECRE 1ATA, Spanish ecclesiastic, was born at Valladolid,in 1388, and was educated in that city. At an early age he joined the Dominican order, and soon distinguished himself for learning and devotion. In 1415 he accompanied the general of his order to the Council of Constance, whence he proceeded to Paris for study, and took his
doctor
 's degree in 1423. After teaching for some time in Paris he became prior of the Dominican
house
  first in Valladolid and then in Toledo. In 1431
Pope
  Eugenius IV. called him to Rome and made him " magister sancti palatii." At the Council of Basel he was one of the ablest supporters of the view of the Roman curia, and he was rewarded with a cardinal's hat in 1439. He died at Rome on the 26th of September 1468.
His
principal
  works are In Gratiani Decretum commentarii (4 vols., Venice, 1578) ; Expositio brevis et utilis super tote psalterio (Mainz, 1474) ; Quaestiones spirituales super evangelic totius anni (Brixen, 1498); Summa ecclesiastica (Salamanca, 1550). The last-named
work
  has the following topics: (1) De universa ecclesia; (2) De Ecclesia
romana
  et pontificis primatu; (3) De universalibus conciliis; (4) De schismaticis et hacreticis. His De conceptione deiparae Mariae, libri viii. (Rome. 1547), was edited with
preface
  and notes by E. B.
Pusey
  (London, 1869 seq.).
