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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16153248\"\u003eLawrence Goldstone\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16161928\"\u003eNancy Goldstone\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780767908375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0767908376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO006000\"\u003eHistorical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO018000\"\u003eReligious\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL015000\"\u003eChristianity | History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLAWRENCE\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eNANCY GOLDSTONE\u003c\/b\u003e are a husband-and-wife writing team who have authored multiple books on their book-collecting pursuits including \u003ci\u003eUsed and Rare\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSlightly Chipped\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWarmly Inscribed\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48459307843821,"sku":"9780767908375","price":21.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_4d834f0c-ef94-4b81-93d5-5dcac4a86355.jpg?v=1753632761","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/out-of-the-flames-the-remarkable-story-of-a-fearless-scholar-a-fatal-heresy-and-one-of-the-rarest-books-in-the-world-9780767908375","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
