Abstract
Jacopo Aconcio was one of the most important religious reformers of the Renaissance. His works, in which his religious interests are intertwined with philosophy and science, encompass a critique of Catholicism as well as certain aspects of the Reformation, in a perspective where an affirmation of the idea of tolerance is accompanied by the rejection of all dogmatism.
