Book Synopsis
Presents the biography of Silvestro Mazzolini da Prierio, little-known, yet eminent, sixteenth-century ecclesiastic, as well as an account of his wide-ranging literary works. This study is useful for scholars of church history and the history of theology, as well as a range of specialists interested in the Renaissance and the Reformation.

Trade Review
"Tavuzzi illuminates with technical exactitude the inner workings of a major religious order and the quality and quantity of the education of its members in Italy on the eve of the Reformation. No other book does this in this way—and it is difficult for me to imagine any other scholar doing it as well."—John O’Malley, Professor of Church History, Weston Jesuit School of Theology
