After the book spread through   the ranks of Protestant hierarchy, Servetus was tried and agonizingly burned at the   stake, the last known copy of the \u003ci\u003eRestitutio\u003c\/i\u003e chained to his leg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Servetus's execution marked a turning point in the quest for freedom of expression,   due largely to the development of the printing press and the proliferation of books   in Renaissance Europe. Three copies of the \u003ci\u003eRestitutio\u003c\/i\u003e managed to survive the burning,   despite every effort on the part of his enemies to destroy them. As a result, the   book became almost a surrogate for its author, going into hiding and relying on covert   distribution until it could be read freely, centuries later. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLawrence and Nancy Goldstone   follow the clandestine journey of the three copies through the subsequent centuries   and explore its author's legacy and influence over the thinkers that shared his spirit   and genius, such as Leibniz, Voltaire, Rousseau, Jefferson, Clarence Dorrow, and   William Osler\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365581226239,"sku":"9780767908375","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780767908375_s600x595.jpg?v=1775599168","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780767908375","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
