Jan Hus, often referred to in English as John Hus or John Huss, was a Czech priest, philosopher, early Christian reformer and Master at Charles University in Prague. After John Wycliffe, the theorist of ecclesiastical Reformation, Hus is considered the first Church reformer, as he lived before Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli.<br/><br/> Hus was a key predecessor to Protestantism, and his teachings had a strong influence on the states of Western Europe, most immediately in the approval of a reformist Bohemian religious denomination, and, more than a century later, on Martin Luther himself. He was burned at the stake in 1415 for 'heresy against the doctrines of the Catholic Church'.

A physician by training, in 1668 Dellon sailed to India with the Compaignie de Indes travelling by the way of Madagascar and the Seychelles, and for a time undertook a study of the flora and fauna of the Malabar coast. Dellon left the company in 1673 to set up his medical practice in the then Portuguese colony of Damao (Daman).<br/><br/> Unfortunately, for him, he made enemies of the Inquisition, was arrested shortly thereafter, and imprisoned for two years at Goa. This work, published with permission of Louis XIV is an expose of the Inquisition. First published in Leiden in 1687, it became an immediate bestseller.
