Japanese: ソッツィーニ（英語表記）Sozzini, Fausto (Paolo); Socinus, Faustus

Born: December 5, 1539, Siena, Italy
[Died] March 3, 1604. Luclawice, Poland. Unitarian theologian. Founder of Socinianism. Also spelled Socini or Sozini. Born to a distinguished Italian family. Initially studied law, but later, under the influence of his uncle Lelio Socini, devoted himself to the study of theology. While living in Italy, he published an anti-trinitarian treatise (→Trinity) and also anonymously published De Sacrae scripturae auctoritate (1570) (On the Authority of the Scriptures). After the death of his patron Cosimo I, he moved from Italy to Basel to continue his Bible studies. During his time in Basel, he is famous for his debate with J. Coué over the idea of salvation. Later, in 1580, he went to Poland in an attempt to approach the Unitarians, and eventually became a theological leader of the Unitarians. In 1588, he married a Polish noblewoman. He denied doctrines such as predestination, the atonement of Christ, and original sin, and in 1594 published De Jesu Christo servatore (De Jesu Christo servatore), based on a dispute with Coue, for which he was persecuted in Krakow. Although he was often ill in his later years, he played a major role in unifying the Unitarian groups in Poland. After his death, his catechism Rakauer Katechismus (1605) was published in Poland. Socinian works are included in volumes 1 and 2 of the Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum quos Unitarios Vocant (8 volumes, 1656), a collection of Socinian writings.

ユニテリアン派の神学者。ソッツィーニ主義の開祖。Socini，Soziniとも記す。イタリアの名門の出。当初は法律を学んだが，のち伯父レリオ・ソッツィーニの影響下に神学の研究に専念。イタリア在住中に反三位一体論的な論説を発表（→三位一体），また『聖書の権威について』De Sacrae scripturae auctoritate（1570）を匿名で出版した。庇護者コジモ1世の死後イタリアからバーゼルに移って聖書研究を続けた。バーゼル時代の救済観念に関する J.クーエとの論争は有名。その後 1580年にユニテリアン派との接近を企てポーランドに赴き，やがてユニテリアン派の神学上の指導者となる。1588年ポーランドの貴族の女性と結婚。予定説（→予定），キリストの贖罪，原罪などの教義を否定し，1594年クーエとの論争に基づく『救い主イエス・キリストについて』De Jesu Christo servatoreを出版してクラクフで迫害を受けた。晩年は病気がちであったがポーランドのユニテリアン派諸団体の統一に大きな役割を果たした。死後，教理問答『ラカウ・カテキズム』Rakauer Katechismus（1605）がポーランドで出版された。ソッツィーニ派の著作を集めた "Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum quos Unitarios Vocant"（8巻，1656）の 1，2巻にはソッツィーニの作品が収められている。
