The article sketches the life and work of a German anti-Trinitarian theologian, Christopher Sandius Jr. (1644-1680). Sandius Jr. was well educated by his rigorous father, Christopher Sr, a highly positioned government official in the Ducal Prussia, who was later removed from his office for anti-Trinitarian sympathies. Sandius Jr.'s activity spread into various European countries, including: England, Germany and the Netherlands where he earned his living as an editor and translator. However his greatest interest remained in theology and church history and he became well-recognized among European intellectuals. For the Protestant and Catholic Orthodox, Sandius Jr. was highly controversial because of his view that Arianism was the very climax of the theological thought of the Early Church. He remained in good terms with exiled Polish Socinians (Andrzej Wiszowaty, Stanislaw Lubieniecki), being however engaged in polemics with them on the problem of the pre-existence of Christ which they denied. Sandius Jr. also enjoyed close relationship with Benedictus Spinoza especially at the end of his life when he became known as one of philosopher's most faithful followers. Between 1676-1680 he even defended author of the 'Tractatus theologico-politicus' in his vast correspondence with a famous Catholic theologian and philosopher Pierre Daniel Huet.

The article discusses the initial stage in the biography of Andreas Dudith (1533-1589), i. e. his studies, originally in Wroclaw and then in Italy (mainly under Aldo Manuzio jr.), travels across Europe as a member of the entourage of Cardinal Reginald Pole, which ended within a parting of ways, a religious crisis, and a distinct sympathy for anti-Trinitarianism. These inclinations were disclosed only among friends from Padua. Ultimately, Dudith did not renounce an ecclesiastical career in his native Hungary, which both his family and the imperial court urged him to pursue. When Dudith finally left Padua in 1559 he was already celebrated among European humanists thanks to his classical erudition, whose sample he presented in a translation of 'De Thucididis historia iudicium by Dionysios of Halicarnassus' (1560) and the enthusiastic opinions of Aldo Manuzio.
