Miguel Sánchez (1594 - 1674) was a Novohispanopriest, writer and theologian. He is most renowned for the 1648 publication of Imagen de la Virgen MarÃa, a theological interpretation of the 1531 apparition of the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Guadalupe that many contend is the first written documentation of the event. While he has been credited with originating the cult the attribution is unlikely given that the chapel at Tepeyac dates to the 1550s and the "Tepeaquilla, now called Guadalupe" is mentioned in the chronicle of Bartolomé de las Casas.[improper synthesis?] Nonetheless, D.A. Brading, a scholar of Mexican history, notes: "even if he did not initiate the devotion, he determined the manner in which the image was exalted and justified."[1]
Sánchez was born in New Spain (today's Mexico) and studied at the Royal and Pontifical University in Mexico City. He sought teaching positions but did not get them. He joined the oratory in 1622 and served as chaplain of the chapel of Our Lady of Los Remedios.[2]
His work makes use of the typology of Augustine of Hippo, although applying it not to events in the New Testament but rather to events alleged to have occurred the previous century in Mexico.
He was buried at the shrine to Guadalupe having been her lifelong devotee and the first of the "four evangelists" of the Guadalupan apparition.
Apparition :)
