　　Michael Servetus is one of those hidden figureheads of history

who is remembered not for his name, but for the revolutionary deeds

that stand in his place. Both a scientist and a freethinking

theologian, Servetus is credited with the discovery of pulmonary

circulation in the human body as well as the authorship of a

polemical masterpiece that cost him his life. The Chrisitianismi

Restituto, a heretical work of biblical scholarship, written in

1553, aimed to refute the orthodox Christianity that Servetus' old

colleague, John Calvin, ***ed. After the book spread through

the ranks of Protestant hierarchy, Servetus was tried and

agonizingly burned at the stake, the last known copy of the

Restitutio chained to his leg.

Servetus's execution is significant because it marked a turning

point in the quest for *** of expression, due largely to the

development of the printing press and the proliferation of books in

Renaissance Europe. Three copies of the Restitutio managed to

survive the burning, despite every effort on the part of his

enemies to destroy them. As a result, the book became almost a

surrogate for its author, going into hiding and relying on covert

distribution until it could be read freely, centuries later. Out of

the Flames tracks the history of this special work, examining

Servetus's life and times and the politics of the first information

during the sixteenth century. Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone follow

the clandestine journey of the three copies through the subsequent

centuries and explore its author's legacy and influence over the

thinkers that shared his spirit and genius, such as Leibniz,

Voltaire, Rousseau, Jefferson, Clarence Dorrow, and William

Osler.

Out of the Flames is an extraordinary story providing testament

to the power of ideas, the enduring legacy of books, and the

triumph of individual courage.
