Luis de Granada was a Dominican friar who excelled as a theologian, writer and preacher. Luis de Granada produced a total of 45 works, in Spanish, Latin and Portuguese, comprising original works, as well as translations of other people's works and revisions and additions to his own previously published works. The son of poor parents, Luis de Granada became a Dominican in Granada in 1524. After 1544, he preached in Córdoba for ten years. In 1557, he assumed the leadership of the Portuguese province of the order and became spiritual advisor to Queen Joan of Spain (1535-1573). Luis wrote many works on asceticism and meditation; his most important books were De la oración (1533) and Guía de pecadores (1555). This work was investigated by the Inquisition, but then the suspicion that Luis' ideas were similar to those of the Alumbrados was dropped. Pope Gregory XIII wrote to Louis of Granada: "Of those who have read your writings with profit, you have produced as many children of Christ and have done them a much greater favor than if you had begged God to give sight to the blind and life to the dead".
