Riassunto

Presents an intriguing study of the life and times of Michael Servetus, a freethinking sixteenth-century scientist and theologian, who is credited with discovering human circulation and who authored the Christianismi Restitutio, a work of biblical scholarship that refuted orthodox Christianity and a book that led to Servetus's condemnation and execution for heresy.
