Juan Alfonso Curiel Explained

Juan Alfonso de Curiel (died 28 September 1609) was a Spanish professor of philosophy and theology at the University of Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain.^{[1] [2]}

Curiel was born in Palenzuela, Burgos to Juan Curiel de la Torre, son of Juan de Curiel. He received his formal education at the University of Salamanca.^{[3] [4]}

At Salamanca, Curiel was the tutor to John Barnes, the English Benedictine monk, and "was wont to call Barnes by the name of John Huss, because of a spirit of contradiction which was always observed in him."^{[5] [6]}

After his death, much of his writing was published by Salamanca and the Complutense University of Madrid, including Controuersiarum Sapientiss in 1611.
