Mosheim, Joham Lorenz (1694-1755)
The famous Lutheran Church historian, made the first impartial
investigation of the Servetus controversy, and marks a reaction
of judgment in favor of Servetus, in two monographs, Geschichte
des berühmten Spanischen Arztes Michael Serveto, Helmstaedt,
1748, 4° (second vol. of his Ketzergeschichte); and Neue
Nachrichten von Serveto, 1750. He had first intrusted his
materials to a pupil, Henr. Ab. Allwoerden, who published
a Historia Michaelis Serveti, Helmstadii, 1727 (238 pp., with
a fine portrait of Servetus and the scene of his execution)
but as this book was severely criticised by Armand de la Chapelle,
the pastor of the French congregation at the Hague, Mosheim
wrote his first work chiefly from copies of the acts of the
trial of Servetus at Geneva (which are verified by the publication
of the original documents in 1844), and his second work from
the trial at Vienne, which were furnished to him by a French
ecclesiastic. Comp. Henry, III. 102 sq.; Dyer, 540 sq.
