'''Antonio Brucioli''' (born c. 1498, died December 6, 1566) was an Italian humanist, religious thinker, publisher, and writer best known for his translation of the bible into Italian.

==Life==

Brucioli was born in [[Florence]] at an unknown date. In his youth, Brucioli was a frequent attendee and contributor to the circle of humanists and scholars who met in the Orto Oricellari. Among the distinguished thinkers with whom Brucioli developed relationships there, the names of [[Francesco Cattani da Diacceto]], [[Luigi Alamanni]], and [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] stand out.

In 1522 Brucioli, along with several other of the members of the Orto Oricellari, was implicated in a plot to assassinate Cardinal [[Giulio Medici]]. Fleeing the city, Brucioli took refuge in [[Lyon]], where he began work on a collection of tracts on moral philosophy, a collection published in Venice in 1526. This body of works formed the core of his ''Dialogi'', which he would expand over the course of the next two decades. During his stay in Lyons, he seems to have absorbed many of the religious ideas of the German reformers, adopting moderately Lutheran theology in his translation of the bible, a work which some said relied heavily on [[Martin Bucer]].

In the wake of the [[Sack of Rome (1527)|sack of Rome]] and flight of the Medici from Florence in 1527, Brucioli returned to his native city to take part in establishing the Republic. However, as a political moderate and strict believer that the friars of [[San Marco]] should keep out of state affairs, he quickly fell afoul of the dominant [[Savonarola]]n faction, being exiled from the city in 1528.

Brucioli spent much of the rest of his life in [[Venice]], where he was twice tried for [[heresy]]. Having been first denounced in 1548 and found guilty of disseminating heretical materials (but not of heresy), he fled to the tolerant court of [[Ferrara]] and the protection of [[Renée of France|Renata d'Este]]. From this point to the rest of his life, strictures on his ability to publish caused him great poverty. In 1549, we find him directing overtures to [[Cosimo I de Medici]] hoping to be granted a stipend in exchange for regular reports on political activities. In 1555 his translation of the bible was placed on the stringent Index of [[Pope Paul IV]], while in Venice he was again tried for heresy, convicted, and forced to recant. He spent most of the remainder of his life under house arrest and in extreme poverty.
