This brief article seeks to evoke the Jesuit Manuel Pinto and his contribution to the European Liturgical Movement. Though Portuguese, he actually worked more in Granada and in Rome. He presented his doctoral thesis in Theology at the Granada Faculty of Theology in 1951, on the theme of “the theological value of liturgy”. His aim in this, however, was not to present a real treatise, but merely to put forward a first sketch or essay of a work on Liturgy as a theological source, divided into two parts: firstly, the notions of Liturgy and of the theological process in the light of the Magisteriumand of theological thinking; secondly, the theological value of the Liturgy in a systematic study through investigation and verification of the Biblical, patristic and theological sources. The publication of his work was important, allying itself with so many other theologians and liturgists, such as the Benedictine Cipriano Vagaggini, who also succeeded him to the chair of Liturgy at the Pontifical Gregorian University, in that it constituted an emblematic work for liturgical science.
