A.k.a. Gáspár Radicsics

Károli Gáspár (1529, Nagykároly - 31 December 1591, Gönc) was a Hungarian Calvinist pastor. Károli was born in Nagykároly, Hungary to a Serbian family, who had emigrated from Serbia because of the Ottoman invasion. The family converted to Protestantism. Károli started his school in Nagykároly and finished in Brassó. In 1556 he went to the Wittenberg Academy. In 1566 he ordered the Synod of Gönc. He translated the Bible to Hungarian in 1586 with supports of Rákóczi Zsigmond. The translation is called the Vizsolyi Biblia or Károli-biblia (Bible of Vizsoly or Károli-Bible), after the town where it was first published in 1590. It was the first Hungarian translation of both the Old and New Testament. He is the most known and famous Hungarian Calvinist.
