Péter Bornemisza
Péter Bornemisza (c. 1535 – 1584) was a Hungarian Lutheran bishop of noble birth. His father was killed by the Turks around the time he was six years old. A scholar from England, at the University of Cracow, first interested him in Protestantism and later Philipp Melanchthon had a strong impact on him. He later preached and printed Protestant works in his native land.[1] In addition to religious work he proved to be a significant playwright of works such as Magyar Elektra.[2]
The Hungarian composer György Kurtág had a work titled The Sayings of Péter Bornemisza,[3] which incorporated brief text from Bornemisza's sermons.[4]
