The Italian Dominican friar Silvestro Mazzolini da Prierio (14561527), known as Prierias, is chiefly remembered as the church official designated to respond to Luthers 95 theses of December 1517a response blamed for fanning the flames of the Reformation throughout Europe. In Prierias, Michael Tavuzzi presents the first full biography of this littleknown, yet eminent, sixteenthcentury ecclesiastic, as well as an account of his wideranging literary works.Tavuzzi shows that, aside from being Luthers first opponent, Prierias played a key role in significant earlysixteenthcentury controversies such as the cases of Reuchlin, Erasmus, and Pomponazzi. Drawing on previously untapped primary sources, Tavuzzi traces Prieriass 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. Prieriass activities as Master of the Sacred Palace, his longstanding 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 Prieriass clash with Luther, Tavuzzi accounts for its development and illuminates the ecclesiological issues at stake. Prierias reveals the littleknown world of the friars on the eve of the Reformation.
