Schimberg Theodosius

Schimberg Theodosius flourished about the end of the sixteenth century ; and, if we may judge from the names with which we find his associated, belonged to that section of the Unitarian body, which thought it idolatrous to pay divine honours to Jesus Christ. Sandius gives no particulars of his personal history ; but ascribes to him a treatise, On the Errors of Trinitarians. He wrote a Preface to John Sommer's Books against Peter Carolius, A. D. 1582, in which he applied to the doctrine of the Trinity the terms "horrible" and "blasphemous," and charged Athanasius with causing the death of Arius. He also wrote a Preface to "Some Treatises on the Christian Religion," published in 1583, 8vo., and purporting to have been printed at Ingolstadt.
