The dispute about the formal constitutive of the human person is one of the most complicated and important of the scholastic tradition. All of the greatest thinkers of this tradition have studied this capital theme which from the core of the catholic theology opens new roads on metaphysical and anthropological speculations. This paper investigate the question of personality and subsistentia on the great Spanish humanist fray Luis de Leon from his lessons on the first book of The Sentences of Peter Lombard, published a few years ago. In this manner the paper aims to present the philosophical work of fray Luis who drinks originally and rigorously from the best sources of the scholastic philosophy. The detailed study of this matter allow us to see in The Master Leon a deep and methodical thinker, who have a deeply knowledge of old and new philosophy with the manifest desire to illustrate and deepen the knowledge of Christian revelation.
