Zabarella, Jacob

Zabarella, Jacob professor at Padua, A.D. 1564 et seq., and author of the book, De Inventione Eterni Motoris. Ideas presented in the book and otherwise, exposed him, before the inquisition, to the charge of doubting the immortality of the soul, from which, however, he was acquitted. He was born at Padua in 1533, and died in 1589. See Herzog, Real-Encyklop. s.v.
