Katarzyna Weiglowa (Wajglowa) (German: Katherine Weigel; given erroneously in a Polish source of 17c. as Vogel, and known in many English sources as Catherine Vogel)〔"Vogel" appears in the 1995 Harvard edition of Stanisław Lubieniecki's ''History of the Polish Reformation and Nine Related Documents'', translated and annotated by George Huntston Williams, but with a footnote stating that Lubieniecki had erroneously given "Vogel", and mentioning that Katarzyna, who had been born "Zalaszowska", had married Melchior Weigel, a city councillor; and that in the sources she was called Zalaszowska, Weiglowa, or Melcherowa (-owa meaning "wife of," -ówna meaning "daughter of..." -owska not showing the difference); and that some of those sources, which had disappeared, had survived in excerpts from the acts of the trial in Polish translation: Julian Bukowski, ''Dzieje Reformacji w Polsce'' 1 (Cracow, 1883) 176-79. Wojciech (Adalbert) Węgierski, pastor of the Cracow District of the Reformed Church had preserved in Polish and Latin important documents in the archive of the Cracow congregation; ''Kronika zboru krakowskiego'' (Cracow, 1817): Harvard Theological Studies Vol 37 (Minneapolis, 1995) p437, at footnote 162.〕 (circa 1460 – April 19, 1539 in Kraków), was a Roman Catholic woman from the Kingdom of Poland who converted to Judaism or to Judaizing nontrinitarianism.〔Janusz Tazbir, ''Reformacja w Polsce'', Książka i Wiedza, Warszawa 1993, p. 15〕 She was burned at the stake in Kraków under the charge of apostasy, when she refused to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Son of God. She is regarded by Unitarians and Jews (among others) as a martyr. She was born Katarzyna Zalasowska, a daughter of Stanisław Zalasowski〔(Historia - Z dziejów Zalasowej... )〕 and widow of Melchior Weigel, merchant and councilman of Kraków. ==Accusation of apostasy== In the ''Jewish Encyclopedia'' she appears under a variant spelling of her maiden name as Catherine Zelazowska.〔("ZELAZOWSKA, CATHERINE" ), ''Jewish Encyclopedia'', referring to *Grätz, Gesch. 3d ed., ix. 454, Heinrich Graetz; *Sternberg, Gesch. der Juden in Polen, p. 56. 〕 Little is known about her life before 1529–1530 when she appeared several times before an episcopal court in Kraków, and refused to abjure "mistakes of the Jewish faith".〔 Catherine probably started professing nontrinitarianism under the influence of writings by Martin Borrhaus, published in 1527. ''Jewish Encyclopedia'' suggested〔 that she followed the example of a daughter of a Mikołaj Radziwiłł and embraced Judaism. She tried to promote her views during the Sejm debates in 1538–1539.〔 At the age of 70, Catherine was imprisoned in Kraków under the charge of confessing "heresy" by the order of Piotr Gamrat, bishop of Kraków,〔August Sokołowski, "Dzieje Polski Ilustrowane", vol. 2, (p 617 )〕 who had accused her before the Queen of Poland Bona Sforza. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Katarzyna Weiglowa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
