FIRST EDITION. The famous Lutheran Church historian, Joham Lorenz Mosheim, made the first impartial investigation of the Servetus controversy, and marks a reaction of judgment in favor of Servetus, in two monographs. He had first entrusted his materials to a pupil, Henr. Ab. Allwoerden, who published this work, but as this book was severely criticized 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.
