François Prelati was an Italian priest and alchemist who took part in the murders committed by Gilles de Rais in the 15th century. He claimed he could summon demons and involved Gilles in this practice.
He is thought by some to have been a possible sexual partner of Gilles but "in absence of evidence", this is only a speculation initially stated by Georges Bataille.
