Santa María Magdalena, Pedro de, Sch. P. (finales del s. XVII-1767)
Record details
Vida
Pedro de Santa María Magdalena fue un religioso y latinista español del siglo XVIII. Se desconocen prácticamente todos los datos de su periplo vital. Nuestro autor nació en la localidad turolense de Arens de Lledó, fronteriza con Tarragona. Tras ingresar en la orden fundada por San José de Calasanz (1556 o 1557-1648), se formó y se dedicó al ejercicio de la docencia de Retórica en el colegio escolapio de Zaragoza. En él murió en 1767.
La labor filológica de este latinista se centró en la edición de la Gramática latina de Elio Antonio de Nebrija, explicada y traducida por su correligionario Agustín de San Juan Bautista (finales del s. XVII-1755). Gracias al contexto político contemporáneo, marcado por la expulsión de los jesuitas (1767), la asunción calansancia de las labores pedagógicas abandonadas por estos y la directriz de Carlos III (1716-1778), según la cual la Gramática y las Letras Humanas debían ser explicadas en la lengua del reino –el castellano–, la gramática nebrisense compendiada de Santa María Magdalena alcanzó una enorme difusión. Esta obra fue inmediatamente adoptada como texto oficial en las escuelas pías catalanas y aragonesas, por lo que durante los decenios siguientes, y hasta bien entrado el siglo XIX, fue repetidas veces reimpresa en Vich, Mataró, Barcelona, Zaragoza, Valencia, Alcoy… En muchos casos, las ediciones posteriores publicaron la obra dividida en dos partes.
