Prierias - The Life and Works of Silvestro Mazzolini Da Prierio (1456-1527)

"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
