Diego de Avendaño (1594 in Segovia – 1688), was a Peruvian Jesuit, a theologian, jurist and moral philosopher. He was the author of the monumental Thesaurus Indicus, a study of the legal and moral issues typical of life in the Spanish-American colonies.
Diego de Avendaño was born in Segovia in 1594 and moved to South America at an early age. He was educated by Jesuits in South America and joined their order. He became professor of Theology and Rector of the Colegio Máximo de San Pablo de Lima, and served as provincial of the Jesuits in Peru. Very little is known about his personal life. His books were published in Europe.
