NAUCERUS in which he had studied. His friend Bartholemi Carrewza, a Dominican, and archbishop of Toledo, having been charged with herself by the court of Inquisition at Rome, Navarre set out at the age of 80 years to defend him. Pius V. appointed him assessor to cardinal Francis Alciati, vice-penitentiary. Gregory XIII. never passed his gate without sending for him; and sometimes would converse with him for an hour together on the street: he even deigned to visit him, accompanied by several cardinals. These honours did not render him more haughty. His character became so eminent, that even in his own time the greatest encomium that could be paid to a man of learning was to say that he was a Navarre: this name thus included the idea of erudition, as that of Rosenus formerly marked an accomplished comedian. Azpilcuetta was the oracle of the city of Rome, and of the whole Christian world. For the influence which he had acquired, he was indebted not only to his knowledge, but also to his probity and virtue. Faithful to the duties which the church prescribed, his temperance and frugality preferred to him a vigorous constitution; and at a very advanced age his genius was equal to the severest study. His savings enabled him to give liberal assistance to the poor. His charities, indeed, were so great, that his mule, it is said, would stop as soon as she perceived a beggar. He died at Rome in 1586, at the age of 92. His works were collected and printed in 6 vols folio at Lyons in 1697, and at Venice in 1602. They display more learning than judgement, and are now very seldom consulted. Navarre was uncle by the mother's side to St Francis of Sales. See SALIS.
