Abstract
Gian Domenico Ottonelli, often thought of a Jesuit art theorist, is shown through a biographical sketch to be a fighter against popular theater in mid-seventeenth-century Rome and Florence, the Italian equivalent of William Prynne and his Histrio-mastix (Scourge of Players) published in London in 1633. Any consideration of his writings as art theory must be dismissed.
