Tommaso Bosio (or Bozio) was an early 16th-century Italian Catholic inquisitor bishop known for his service in Malta. Little is known of his life outside of Malta, however, Bosio wrote a book entitled “De Signis ecclesiae dei’, or ‘Signs of the Church of God’. While at first glance, this book appears to be like many others of its kind – a description of the history of the catholic church, and it is. However, this book, unlike any other, contains a highly controversial tale on the life, rather, death of Martin Luther.

 

Bozio’s “De Signis ecclesiae” is the first published account, whether accurate or not, to describe Martin Luther’s suicide by hanging. According to Bozio, a servant of Luther found Luther hanged in a tree from a rope. Curiously, it is widely accepted that the cause of Luther’s death remains a mystery, but some scholars believe suicide by hanging was the cause. Bozio’s account is one of the first, if the earliest published account of the legend of Martin Luther’s suicide!
