Elias Gczmidele
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elias Gczmidele (fl. 1570s) was a Polish Protestant expelled from the Hungarian Calvinist community in Cluj-Napoca in 1570. He is known only for his letter of appeal from Kraków to Gáspár Heltai in February 1571, preserved in the Cluj city archives.[1][2][3] This uncharacteristic intolerant incident may be because of his view of not resisting the Ottoman Empire as "the greatest power in the world."[4]
