An early opponent of Martin Luther, he was involved in the juridical process against him. (Mazzolini was also involved in cases against Johann Reuchlin, Pietro Pomponazzi and Erasmus). A great deal of his scholarship was devoted to the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. Also known as the Egregium vel Potius Divinum Opus in Iohannem Capreolum, Mazzolini's Compendium is a summary of a work of another Aquinas scholar, Jean Capreolus [c.1380-c.1444], dealing with Aquinas's commentaries on the Libri Quattuor Sententiarum of Peter Lombard [c.1096-1160], one of the great works of medieval theology. Isaias Silberschlag [1560-1606] was a German philosopher and professor at the University of Erfurt. This is a scarce imprint.
