Diogo de Teive (c. 1514 in Braga – after 1569) was a Portuguese humanist during the Renaissance.

Diogo de Teive was a humanist, a latinist and a typical scholar of his day: a traveller, who spent most of his formative years abroad, in Europe. He would return to Portugal with André de Gouveia, George Buchanan and João da Costa, thanks to the initiative of King John III of Portugal.

Buchanan, João da Costa and Diogo de Teive were accused of Protestantism by the Portuguese Inquisition, and sentenced to imprisonment in 1550. Nonetheless, Teive did not leave the country, and he remained close to the Portuguese royal family and to the court, as a scholar and a clergyman. He died after 1569.

Diogo de Teive wrote tragedies and diverse tests of historical and philosophical interpretation, always in Latin.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
