Executed for homosexuality?
I realise that the concept of 'homosexuality' is of recent creation, so I doubt that Dominique Phinot was 'executed for homosexuality' as claimed. He may have been executed for sodomy or some other charge. I am unable to access the reference to see the exact wording used in the source. Can anyone clarify?

 * "Homosexual practices" is the wording Roger Jacob uses. You might want to consult the primary source -- it's Girolamo Cardano (Jerome Cardan), the Theonoston.  It's in Latin, but someone may have translated it into English (I've never seen such a thing ... but it seems like someone would have by now).  The Hyperion biography mentions it too.  This is the same source from which we have the juicy bits about Nicolas Gombert, who was sent to the galleys for (allegedly) sodomizing his choirboys. Antandrus  (talk) 12:58, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
