Biography
Born in 1589, he was the son of Robert Semple of Craigbait, Renfrewshire. He entered the Jesuit novitiate of the Province Toledo in 1615, and studied at the University of Alcalá. Sempill taught as professor of mathematics at the Colegio Imperial de Madrid (Imperial College of Madrid), which employed teachers from all over Europe and made courses in geometry, geography, hydrography, and horology.
He also served as procurator of the Royal Scots College in Madrid (now located in Salamanca). During Sempill's tenure the college is thought to have acquired, perhaps at Sempill's behest, a collection of Jacobean and Caroline era stage plays in quarto editions, among them The Two Noble Kinsmen by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Page needed

Works
Sempill's De Mathematicis disciplinis Libri duodecim (Antwerp, ex officina B. Moreti, 1635), dedicated to Philip IV of Spain, was a work that was read across Europe (his work was cited, for example, by the Jesuit Philippus Brietius in the Frenchman's own Parallela Geographie). Sempill's work was essentially a compilation and many pages consist of little but a list of names of writers in various scientific genres.
Sempill also wrote Experientia Mathematice. De compositione et divisione numerum, linearum, quadratorum... (Madrid, 1642), and Dictionarium Mathematicum, which was prepared for the press but never published.
