About the author

Juan Félix de la Encarnación (1806–1879) was an Augustinian Recollect friar and writer. Reliable web sources found for this overview confirm his dates and connect him with the Recollect order, where he is remembered as a literary and religious figure.

The available material points to him as a 19th-century author whose work was tied to Catholic devotion and the intellectual life of his community. Because the easily verifiable online sources are limited, it is safest to describe him broadly as a Recollect religious writer rather than make more detailed claims that could not be confirmed here.

He remains of interest today as part of the literary and ecclesiastical history of the Spanish-speaking world, especially in connection with the Augustinian Recollect presence in the Philippines.
