Matthias Albinus
Maciej Albin or Latin Matthias Albinus (floruit, fl. 1570s) was a Polish Calvinist minister at Iwanowice Dworskie who became the first to administer Believer's baptism in Poland, and then became openly Unitarian. Overview He differed from the Calvinists and many of the Arians at Pińczów in denying the pre-existence of Christ. And at the Synod of Skrzynno in 1567 stood with Georg Schomann, Gregory Pauli and Marcin Czechowic among the Polish Brethren. Although the term Socinian is anachronistic, he was counted among Socinian authors by Christopher Sandius. Robert Robinson (hymnist), Robert Robinson's ''Ecclesiastical Researches'' (1792) incorrectly states that Albinus was a Trinitarian till the end of his life but this is contradicted by Friedrich Samuel Bock, Bock, ''Historia Antitrinitarianorum''.Robert Wallace (Unitarian), Robert Wallace, ''Sketches of the lives and writings of distinguished antitrinitarians - Page 239'' 1850 "Matthias Albinus continued a Trinitarian till his d ...

Floruit
''Floruit'' ( ; usually abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for 'flourished') denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicating the time when someone flourished. Etymology and use is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb ', ' "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun ', ', "flower". Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person or movement. More specifically, it often is used in genealogy and historical writing when a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists that indicates when they were alive. For example, if there are Will (law), wills Attestation clause, attested by John Jones in 1204 and 1229, as well as a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)", even though Jones was born before ...

Christopher Sandius
Christopher Sandius Jr. (Königsberg, October 12, 1644 – Amsterdam, November 30, 1680) was an Arian writer and publisher of Socinian works without himself being a Socinian. His name was Latinized as Christophorus Sandius, though his German name appears to have been Christoph Sand, and he was known as Christof Van den Sand during his later years in the Netherlands. Following research by Lech Szczucki it appears that Sandius Jr. was well educated by his rigorous father, Christopher Sandius Sr., (d.1686) a government official in Königsberg, who himself was later removed from his office for anti-Trinitarian sympathies. Sandius Jr. moved to Amsterdam and earned his living as an editor, translator and publisher, he became well-recognized among European intellectuals. Sandius Jr. promoted the view that Arianism was the high point of the theology of the Early Church. He remained on good terms with exiled Polish Socinians Andrzej Wiszowaty and Stanislaw Lubieniecki, while engaging in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Socinian
Socinianism ( ) is a Nontrinitarian Christian belief system developed and co-founded during the Protestant Reformation by the Italian Renaissance humanists and theologians Lelio Sozzini and Fausto Sozzini, uncle and nephew, respectively. It was developed among the Polish Brethren in the Polish Reformed Church between the 16th and 17th centuries, and embraced by the Unitarian Church of Transylvania during the same period. Socinianism is most famous for its unitarian belief but contains a number of other distinctive theological doctrines, such as the denial of divine foreknowledge regarding the actions of free agents and rejection of the pre-existence of Christ. Origins The beliefs of Socinianism date from the wing of the Protestant Reformation known as the Radical Reformation and have their root in the Italian Anabaptist movement of the 1540s, such as the anti-trinitarian Council of Venice in 1550. Lelio Sozzini was the first of the Italian anti-trinitarians to go be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
