Mino Cèlsi (1514 – c. 1576) was an Italian ambassador and scholar; he was forced to flee to Basel, Switzerland, for his defense of Protestant critics of Roman Catholicism.
Suffering from financial difficulties, and in part because of his affiliation with others who fell to imprisonment by the Roman Inquisition, he fled from Siena and ended up in Basel.
After his death a manuscript was published in Latin under his name, including De haereticis coercendis quatenus progredi liceat, disputatio, by Mini Celsi Senensis, and Lelio Sozzini, Christalingae, (1577).
The work argues for tolerance of alternative religious beliefs.
