The Italian Dominican friar Silvestro Mazzolini da Prierio (1456-1527), known as Prierias, served as Master of the Sacred Palace during the pontificates of Leo X, Adrian VI and Clement VII. He is chiefly remembered for his involvement in the cases of Luther and Reuchlin and an epistolary exchange with Erasmus. In this paper it is argued that he also played an important role in the Pomponazzi affair. Furthermore, Prierias’ intervention largely explains Bartolomeo Spina’s own polemics against both Pomponazzi and Cajetan.
