SANCHEZ DE AGUILAR, Pedro (san'-cheth), Mexican
bishop, born in Valladolid, Yucatan, 10 April, 1555; died in Santa Cruz,
Bolivia, about 1640. He was a descendant of the first conquerors of Yucatan.
Sanchez was sent by his father to Mexico, where he studied in the College of San
Ildefonso, was ordained and graduated as doctor in theology, and was rector of
several parishes in Yucatan. He became vicar-general of the bishopric of
Yucatan, and in 1617 was sent to Madrid and Rome as commissioner of his
province.
King Philip III appointed him to a canonry in the
cathedral of La Plata in the province of Charcas, whither he sailed after his
return to Mexico, and later he was appointed judge of the Inquisition in Lima,
and finally bishop of Santa Cruz. He wrote "Informe contra
Idolorum Cultores del Obispado de Yucatan" (Madrid, 1619 and 1689); "Cartilla de
Catecismo de Doctrina Cristiana en Idioma Yucateco;" and "Memoria de los
primeros Conquistadores de Yucatan." The two last were not published and
have been lost.
