After graduating in Law and Divinity in Siena, Nausea (c. 1496-1552) served as secretary for Cardinal Lorenzo Campeggio a.o. at the Diet of Nuremberg and the convention of Ratisbon. He worked for the reunion of Lutherans with the Catholics and asked Rome, together with prelates, to permit the clergy to marry and the laity to use communion cup. He also unsuccessfully tried to return Melanchthon to Roman Catholicism. He was also named bishop of Vienna and participated in the delibrations, especially on Sacraments, when the Council of Trent reopened in 1551. # Adams N-86; # Soltész N-56; # USTC 658291; # VD 16 N 229; # not in Machiels.
