AMADEI, GIROLAMO. - Theologian, b. in Siena around the year 1483, d. in Lucca on 16 February 1543. He was a Servite religious and became vicar general for Germany. Through the teaching of theology at Bologna and Siena and above all through the zeal he displayed in combating the Lutheran doctrines, to the confutation of which he devoted several unpublished writings, he succeeded in earning the esteem of Pope Adrian VI, who appointed him general of the Order. Of his works there survives an Apologia sull'immortalità dell'anima (Milan 1518).
