Abstract
Mark Anthony de Dominis spent almost six years in England, during which time the attitude towards him underwent a dramatic change, from overwhelming enthusiasm about his sermons and celebration of his erudition, to his expulsion from the kingdom. Diverse political interests, accompanied by a number of intrigues, marked the English political climate of his day, which was undoubtedly reflected in the general attitude towards Dominis. Underlying this shift in attitude was a profound misunderstanding of his true intentions. On the basis of documents kept in the National Archives in London, this paper will show the politically based reception of Dominis and his ideas in England, in which no serious efforts were made at understanding them in their full scope and meaning.
