Szymon Budny or Symon Budny (

Protestant reformer, philosopher, sociologist and historian, active in the territory of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[4] He was one of the first to promote the development of Belarusian culture in the Belarusian language.[5] He was one of the leaders of the Polish Brethren
.

Place of birth

Little is known about his place of birth. Though the common assumption is that he was born in

Belarusian szlachta.[9] Symon Budny originally identified himself as a Litvin,[10] which then was the term used mostly to describe Belarusians.[11]

Christology

Symon Budny was an early figure in the party in the

Ebionite position and a form of Judaizing, and resulted in Budny's excommunication from the Minor Reformed Church of Poland,[13] though subsequent Eastern European historians consider that in Budny's case it may have been on account of his note in the Belarusian New Testament stating that Jesus was Joseph's son, as much as the better known in the West letter to Fausto Sozzini (1581) to which Fausto Sozzini's answer is preserved in Volume II of the Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum printed by Sozzini's grandson in Amsterdam, 1668.[14]

Budny and rabbinical commentary

For all that Budny was accused of "Judaizing" by Czechowic and Sozzini, and excommunicated from the Polish-Lithuanian-Belarusian Unitarian community, Budny was still regarded as a Christian adversary in the polemical work Chizzuk Emunah (“Strengthened Faith”) of

Isaac Troky,[15] who made counter-use of Budny's historical-critical biblical exegesis.[16]

Political views

Budny supported the limited educated monarchy concept of the state (with Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski), which would enable the development of the Sejm.

conscientious objection and separation from the state in 1581.[17]

Belarusian language

Niasvizh
, 1562

Budny was one of the first ideologists of the development the Belarusian culture in its native language, and had notable influence on the development of Belarusian national consciousness. In his "Catechesis" (printed in 1562, Niasvizh, in Belarusian) Budny follows Francysk Skaryna in using native Belarusian speech to explain Christianity.

"So that his Ducal Highness should not only enjoy foreign languages, but also would fall in love with the ancient Slavic language and enjoy it too... And so that all others would follow this good example and the Fatherland and its native language would have future and hope".[18][19][20]

Polish language

Niasvizh
Bible" translated by Budny, 1572

However subsequently Budny surrendered and started to write in Polish. He tried to justify it by saying:

Głupstwo to jest mową jednej krainy gardzić, a drugiej słówka pod niebiosa wynosić.
"It is folly to scorn the language of one country, and praise the tongue of another up to the heavens".

He translated the

Nesvizh (Polish: Nieśwież). As changes were introduced in the printing a second edition of New Testament appeared in 1574. His former colleague Marcin Czechowic produced his own Polish New Testament in Lublin
in 1577.
