György Enyedi (Unitarian)

György Enyedi, in Latin Georgius Eniedinus (1555-28 Nov. 1597) was a Hungarian Unitarian bishop, moderator of the John Sigismund Unitarian Academy in Kolozsvár and writer known as the "Unitarian Plato".[1]

Enyedi's major work was the anti-Trinitarian Explicationes (1598) which circulated widely in Europe. The first Catholic refutation of the Explicationes was Ambrosio Peñalosa's Opus egregium (1635).[2] According to Marshall (1994), Locke started his reading of Unitarian writers with Enyedi in 1679,[3][4] before more extensive exploration of Socinian works 1685-86.

Works

A short biography and bibliography is included in Christof Sand's Bibliotheca Anti-Trinitariorum (1684).[5]
