MARCO See also:ANTONIO DE See also:DOMINIS (1560-1624)
, See also:Italian theologian and natural philosopher, was See also:born of a See also:noble Venetian See also:family in I 56o in the See also:island of Arbe, off the See also:coast of See also:Dalmatia
.
He was educated by the See also:Jesuits in their colleges at See also:Loreto and See also:Padua, and is supposed by some to have joined their See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order; the more usual See also:opinion, however, is that he was dissuaded from doing so by See also:Cardinal Aldobrandini
.
For some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time he was employed as a teacher at See also:Verona, as See also:professor of See also:mathematics at Padua, and professor of See also:rhetoric and See also:philosophy at See also:Brescia
.
In 1596 he was appointed to the bishopric of Segnia (See also:Zengg) in Dalmatia, and two years later was raised to the archbishopric of See also:Spalato and primacy of Dalmatia and Croatia
.
His endeavours to reform the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church soon brought him into conflict with his suffragans; and the interference of the papal See also:court with his rights as See also:metropolitan, an attitude intensified by the See also:quarrel between the papacy and See also:Venice, made his position intolerable
.
This, at any See also:rate, is the See also:account given in his own See also:apology—the Consilium profectionisin which he also states that it was these troubles that led him to those researches into ecclesiastical See also:law, church See also:history and dogmatic See also:theology, which, while confirming him in his love for the ideal of " the true See also:Catholic Church," revealed to him how far the
papal See also:system was from approximating to it
.
After a visit to See also:Rome, when he in vain attempted to gain the See also:ear of See also:Pope See also:Paul V., he resigned his see in See also:September 1616, wrote at Venice his Consilium profectionis, and then went by way of See also:Switzerland, See also:Heidelberg and See also:Rotterdam to See also:England, where he arrived in See also:December
.
He was welcomed by the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king and the See also:Anglican See also:clergy with See also:great respect, was received into the Church of England in St Paul's See also:cathedral, and was appointed See also:master of the See also:Savoy (1618) and See also:dean of See also:Windsor (1619); he subsequently presented himself to the living of See also:West Ilsley, See also:Berkshire
.
Contemporary writers give no pleasant account of him, describing him as See also:fat, irascible, pretentious and very avaricious; but his ability was undoubted, and in the theological controversies of the time he soon took a foremost See also:place
.
His published attacks on the papacy succeeded each other in rapid See also:succession: the Papatus See also:Romanus, issued anonymously (See also:London, 1617; See also:Frankfort, 1618), the Scogli del naufragio Christiano, written in Switzerland (London, (?) 1618), of which See also:English, See also:French and See also:German See also:translations also appeared, and a See also:Sermon preached in Italian, &c., before the king
.
But his See also:principal See also:work was the De republica seclesiastica, of which the first See also:part—after revision by Anglican theologians—was published under royal patronage in London (1617), in which he set forth with a great display of erudition his theory of the church
.
In the See also:main it is an elaborate See also:treatise on the historic organization of the church, its principal See also:note being its insistence on the divine prerogatives of the Catholic episcopate as against the encroachments of the papal See also:monarchy
.
In 1619 See also:Dominis published in London, with a See also:dedication to See also:- JAMES
- JAMES (Gr. 'IlrKw,l3or, the Heb. Ya`akob or Jacob)
- JAMES (JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD STUART) (1688-1766)
- JAMES, 2ND EARL OF DOUGLAS AND MAR(c. 1358–1388)

- JAMES, THOMAS (c. 1573–1629)
- JAMES, WILLIAM (1842–1910)
- JAMES, WILLIAM (d. 1827)
James I., See also:Paolo See also:Sarpi's Historia del Concilio Tridentino, the MS. of which he had brought with him from Venice
.
It is characteristic of the See also:man that he refused to See also:hand over to Sarpi a See also:penny of the See also:money See also:present given to him by the king as a See also:reward for this work
.
Three years later the ex-See also:archbishop was back again in Rome, doing See also:penance for his heresies in St See also:- PETER
- PETER (Lat. Petrus from Gr. irfpos, a rock, Ital. Pietro, Piero, Pier, Fr. Pierre, Span. Pedro, Ger. Peter, Russ. Petr)
- PETER (PEDRO)
- PETER, EPISTLES OF
- PETER, ST
Peter's with a See also:cord See also:round his See also:neck
.
The reasons for this sudden revolution in his opinions, which caused See also:grave See also:scandal in England, have been much debated; it is probably no See also:libel on his memory, however, to say that they were connected with the hopes raised by the See also:elevation of his kinsman, Alessandro Ludovisi,to the papal See also:throne as See also:- GREGORY
- GREGORY (Gregorius)
- GREGORY (Grigorii) GRIGORIEVICH ORLOV, COUNT (1734-1783)
- GREGORY, EDWARD JOHN (1850-19o9)
- GREGORY, OLINTHUS GILBERT (1774—1841)

Gregory XV
.
(1621)
.
It is said that he was enticed back to Rome by the promise of See also:pardon and See also:rich preferment
.
If so, he was doomed to See also:bitter disappointment
.
He had barely time to publish at Rome (1623) his Sui reditus ex Angliae consilium, an abject repudiation of his See also:anti-papal See also:works as written " non ex cordis sinceritate, non ex See also:bona conscientia, non ex fide," when Gregory died (See also:July 1623)
.
During the See also:interregnum that followed, the proceedings of the See also:Inquisition against the archbishop were revived, and they continued under See also:Urban VIII
.
Before they were concluded, however, Dominis died in See also:prison, on the 8th of September 1624
.
Even this did not end his trial, and on the loth of December See also:judgment was pronounced over his See also:corpse in the church of See also:Santa Maria sopra See also:Minerva
.
By order of the Inquisition his See also:body was taken from the See also:coffin, dragged through the streets of Rome, and publicly burnt in the Campo di Fiore
.
By a See also:strange See also:irony of See also:fate the publication of his Reditus consilium was subsequently forbidden in Venice because of its uncompromising advocacy of the supremacy of the pope over the temporal See also:powers
.
As a theologian and an ecclesiastic Dominis was thoroughly discredited; as a man of See also:science he was more happy
.
He was the first to put forward a true theory of the See also:rainbow, in his De radiis visus et lucis in vitris perspectivis et iride (Venice, 1611)
