Juan Alfonso Curiel

Juan Alfonso de Curiel (d. 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]

Curiel converted from Judaism to Catholicism.[5]

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."[6][7]

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