Publisher's Synopsis
âMichel Servet brulÃ(c) vif à Genève, le 27 octobre 1553â is a historical discourse delivered by Charles Jean Marie Loyson (Père Hyacinthe) at Victoria Hall in Geneva on March 8, 1903. The speech commemorates Michel Servet, a Spanish theologian, physician, cartographer, and Renaissance humanist who was condemned as a heretic and burned at the stake in Geneva in 1553 due to his theological views, particularly regarding the Trinity and infant baptism. This text offers insights into the historical context and the circumstances surrounding Servet's execution, providing a perspective from the early 20th century on a pivotal event in religious history and the Reformation.
