Francis Skorina


(Also FRACISK or FRANTSISK SKARYNA)
XV/XVI Centuries
Early Slavic printer and scientist who published numerous Orthodox works in Slavonic and a partial translation of the Latin Vulgate into Belarussian. He seems to have had connections to both the Uniate and Orthodox Churches, and possibly to Hussite-influenced Protestant groups as well.
