Juan Bautista Villalpando, also Villalpandus, was a Spanish Jesuit priest, scholar, mathematician and architect, born in Córdoba in 1552 and dead in Rome on 22 May 1608. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1575 and designed several buildings for it, including the cathedral in Baeza and the church of San Hermenegildo in Seville, having studied geometry and architecture with Juan de Herrera, architect of Philip II. After ordination he specialised in exegesis of the Old Testament. In 1596 he published the first volume of Ezechielem Explanationes, a commentary on Ezekiel begun by Jerónimo del Prado, with imaginative reconstructions of Solomon's Temple and Jerusalem that were renowned and influential and inspired many European illustrators. A review by the Spanish Inquisition cleared him of an accusation of heresy.
