Product Description
The Italian Dominican friar Silvestro Mazzolini da Prierio (1456ndash;1527), known as Prierias, is chiefly remembered as the church official designated to respond to Lutherrsquo;s 95 theses of December 1517?a response blamed for fanning the flames of the Reformation throughout Europe. In IPrierias/I, Michael Tavuzzi presents the first full biography of this little-known, yet eminent, sixteenth-century ecclesiastic, as well as an account of his wide-ranging literary works. BRTavuzzi shows that, aside from being Lutherrsquo;s first opponent, Prierias played a key role in significant early-sixteenth-century controversies such as the cases of Reuchlin, Erasmus, and Pomponazzi. Drawing on previously untapped primary sources, Tavuzzi traces Prieriasrsquo;s early career as preacher, professor, inquisitor, and administrator, and places him in the context of the struggles fought between unreformed and observant friars during the Renaissance. Prieriasrsquo;s activities as Master of the Sacred Palace, his long-standing and bitter conflict with Cardinal Cajetan, and especially his forceful writings warning against the threat of witches and witchcraft are also described. Focusing closely on Prieriasrsquo;s clash with Luther, Tavuzzi accounts for its development and illuminates the ecclesiological issues at stake. IPrierias/I reveals the little-known world of the friars on the eve of the Reformation. BR
