ZAMOMETIĆ, ANDREA. - Dominican bishop, of Slavic origin, b. in 1420, d. at Basel on 12 Nov. 1484.
Entered young into the Dominicans at Udine, he studied and taught at Padua and there formed friendships with Francesco della Rovere. When the latter became Pope, Z. was appointed by him archbishop of Craina in Thessaly on 10 January 1476. For three years he was ambassador of Emperor Frederick III at the Roman Curia. Because of his bitter criticisms of the Pope's nepotism and of the customs of the court, on 14 June 1481 he was imprisoned and then, once freed, went to Germany where he passed himself off as a cardinal and set about promoting at Basel a general Council of reforms, which on 25 March 1482, in the cathedral of Basel, he proclaimed the imminent opening he proclaimed on 25 March 1482 in the cathedral of Basel, inviting the Christian princes to it and hoping for the support of the enemies of papal policy in Italy. Sixtus IV, in order to have him in his hands, on 2 July 1482 ordered that he be imprisoned, and by 4 Sept. he had already been deprived of the archbishopric, while Basel was struck with an interdict for having given him refuge. Imprisoned on 21 Dec. 1482, he was found strangled without having submitted.
