DRAGIŠIĆ, Giorgio. — Croatian Franciscan, humanist, philosopher, and theologian, born in Srebrenica in Bosnia around the mid-15th century, died in Barletta in 1520. He studied in Italy, Paris, and Oxford; in 1470 he was in Rome in the retinue of Cardinal Bessarion; in 1472 he was the tutor of Guidobaldo, son of Federico da Montefeltro. In 1485 in Florence he was master of theology and rector of the Franciscan school; he was summoned by Lorenzo the Magnificent to educate his sons Giovanni (the future Leo X) and Piero.
In 1507 he was elected bishop of Cagli, and in 1512 promoted to titular archbishop of Nazareth, and as such, in 1515, he took part in the Fifth Lateran Council.
D. is ranked among the foremost theologians of his time and appears as a conciliator of Platonism with Aristotelianism. In the Savonarola affair, he took his side by writing *Prophēticea solutiones pro Hieronymo Savonarola* (Florence, 1497). Among his works is to be noted: *Logica nova secundum mentem Scoti et B. Thomae Aquinatis aliorumque*, ibid., 1480 (3rd ed., Rome, 1520, under the title *Artis dialecticae praecepta vetera ac nova*).
