ABSTRACT
There was another closely related matter occupying the minds of those involved in the production of the broadsheet in Rome in 1555, especially the anatomists and in particular Cardinal Juan Álvarez. It was the case of the Spanish-born scholar Michael Servetus, who having been declared a heretic by both the Catholics and the Protestants had been burned at the stake in Geneva by the Calvinists in November 1553. This notorious event had a direct bearing on the creation of our broadsheet.
