Brás Viegas (Blasius de Viegas) (1553–1599) was a Portuguese Jesuit, known as a biblical commentator.
He was born in Évora, and entered the Society of Jesus in 1569. He became a teacher at Coimbra and the University of Évora, where he was granted a doctorate in 1594.[1]
The book became well known; in it Viegas expressed his expectation for spiritual renewal led by the Society of Jesus.[2] There were later editions, edited by Odoardo Farnese.[3] It was translated into Ge'ez by Jesuit missionaries.[4]
