Fausto Paolo Sozzini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fausto Paolo Sozzini, also known as Faustus Socinus, (born December 5, 1539 - died March 4, 1604) was a theologian and founder of the school of Christian thought known as "Socinianism," based on the Latinized spelling of his name. |
 | | Sozzini was born at Siena, the only son of Alessandro Sozzini, princeps subtilitatum, by Agnese, daughter of Borghese Petrucci, a descendant of Pandolfo Petrucci, the Cromwell of Siena. |
 | | Sozzini now fixed himself at Basel, gave himself to close study of the Bible, began translating the Psalms into Italian verse, and, in spite of increasing deafness, became a centre of theological debates. |
