Nicolas Antoine (c.1602 – April 20, 1632) was a French Christian Protestant theologian and pastor who converted to Judaism, though he was never officially admitted in Judaism, because of fears by the Jewish community that persecutions would happen if it became known that he was an apostate of Christianity; he was advised instead to live the life of a crypto-Jew, he suffered martyrdom at the stake in Geneva, April 20, 1632.

To sketch a face that well might buy the soul of any man.

With a fearful shriek, he leaped and fell across the
