The Life Of Michael Servetus

""The Life of Michael Servetus"" is a historical account of the Spanish physician Michael Servetus, who was accused of heresy and subsequently imprisoned and burned at the stake by John Calvin, a prominent Protestant Reformer, in the 16th century. The book, written by William Hamilton Drummond and published in 1848, provides a detailed biography of Servetus, tracing his early life, education, and career as a physician and theologian. The author also explores the religious and political context of the time, including the Protestant Reformation and the Inquisition, and examines the role of Calvin in Servetus' persecution and execution. Drawing on primary sources and historical records, Drummond offers a comprehensive and nuanced portrait of Servetus and his tragic fate, shedding light on a little-known but significant episode in the history of religious persecution and intolerance.In The City Of Geneva, October 27, 1553.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
