Nicodemismo (English spelling)

Japanese: ニコデミズモ(英語表記)nicodemismo
Nicodemismo (English spelling)
The term was first used as a historical term by Italian historian D. Cantimoli. According to him, it refers to the religious disguise of the Italian intellectual class during the second period of the Italian Reformation, who, fearing the re-opening of the Inquisition (1542), pretended to be Catholic on the surface but sided with Protestantism in their hearts. The name Nicodemus was originally given to them because Calvin (Explanation to Nicodemus, 1544) criticized those who behaved in this way as "Nicodemus," who "came to Jesus secretly by night" (John 3:1ff.).

Japanese:
イタリアの歴史家D.カンティモーリが初めて歴史学用語として援用した言葉。彼によれば,イタリア宗教改革史の第2期において,異端審問所の再開(1542)による弾圧を恐れて,表面ではカトリックの信仰を装いながら内心ではプロテスタントにくみしていたイタリアの知識階層の宗教的偽装の態度を指す。ニコデモの名が冠せられるのは,もともと,このような態度をとる者を〈夜ひそかにイエスを訪れたニコデモ〉(《ヨハネによる福音書》3:1以下)に擬して〈ニコデモの徒〉とカルバンが論難した(《ニコデモの徒への釈明》1544)ことに由来する。
