Ami Perrin (... – 1561) è stato uno dei principali oppositori di Giovanni Calvino e rappresentante del libertinismo.
, Ami Perrin (c. 1500 – 1561) was a Genevan … Ami Perrin (c. 1500 – 1561) was a Genevan Libertine and one of the most powerful figures in Geneva in the 16th century as chief opponent of religious reformer John Calvin's rule of the city. [Ami Perrin] wanted to be elaborately dressed and to live well, and was not merely dainty in his eating, which means to desire little but the best, but dainty and gluttonous together, since he must have plenty of the best. François Bonivard Perrin's father was a dealer in wooden vessels who later expanded into cloth retail and married the daughter of a thriving apothecary from Piedmont. Their only child, Ami, they fawned over and spoiled excessively. Perrin was associated with the Eidguenots, Geneva's anti-Savoyard party and in 1529 commanded a company against the Duke of Savoy. During the 1530s he was a partisan of Protestant reformist John Calvin, and a convinced "Guillermin", but considered himself poorly rewarded for this support. The Perrins were a prominent and wealthy Genevese family which strongly supported the independence of the city and invited Calvin back from Strasbourg in 1541. However, Perrin became disillusioned with Calvin's rule, specifically the large number of immigrants and foreign ministers, and was concerned that the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V would capture the city as part of his campaign against the German princes. Perrin, who was at this point a man of great reputation and authority in Geneva, led the Libertine faction in the city which argued against Calvin's "insistence that church discipline should be enforced uniformly against all members of Genevan society". In 1547, Perrin was elected captain-general of the city's militia. He married Françoise Favre, the daughter of , a merchant draper and former Eidguenot who was active on the Council and prosecuted in 1547 for accusing Calvin of proclaiming himself bishop of Geneva. Françoise appeared before the consistory (the congregation's governing body of elected officials) the same year, for the offence of dancing. Resisting the authority of Church elders, she claimed the right to punish her was reserved for her husband, Ami, who was in France representing the city before Henry II at the time. Returning to Geneva in September of that year, Perrin famously proclaimed before the court: I understand that you are considering imprisoning my father-in-law and my wife. My said father-in-law is old, my wife is ill; by imprisoning them you will shorten their days, to my great regret, which I have not deserved, and which would be to give me poor recompense for the services I have done you. Therefore I beg you not to imprison them. If they have done wrong, I will bring them here to make such amends that you will have reason to be content. I pray you to grant me this, since if you put them in prison, God will aid me to avenge myself for it. — Ami Perrin, quoted by François Bonivard His petition was refused by the council, and he was accused of treason for allegedly offering to introduce a French garrison into Geneva to secure the city from attack by Charles V's troops in southern Germany. The subsequent lengthy trial and Perrin's acquittal and restoration to office reflected badly on the Calvinists. Perrin and his allies were elected to the town council in 1548, and "broadened their support base in Geneva by stirring up resentment among the older inhabitants against the increasing number of religious refugees who were fleeing France in even greater numbers". By 1555, Calvinists were firmly in place on the Genevan town council, so the Libertines, led by Perrin, responded with an attempted coup against the government and called for the massacre of the French. The revolt was unsuccessful as the forces of Calvin triumphed, and Perrin was sentenced in absentia to have his right hand cut off. In the words of historian Jonathan Zophy, Perrin's uprising was "the last great political challenge Calvin had to face in Geneva." Calvin would later describe Perrin as "our comic Caesar".ter describe Perrin as "our comic Caesar".
, Ami Perrin (* um 1500; † 1561) war ein Gen … Ami Perrin (* um 1500; † 1561) war ein Genfer Politiker der Reformationszeit. Ami Perrin war als Kaufmann ein Angehöriger der Genfer Oberschicht, Sohn von Claude Perrin und Péronette Grand. Er war in erster Ehe verheiratet mit Clauda Emyn, in zweiter Ehe mit Françoise Favre, der Tochter des François Favre. Er stieg in höchste städtische Ämter auf, 1545 als Syndic, 1549 und 1553 als Erster Syndic. Von 1544 bis zu seinem Sturz 1555 war er Generalhauptmann. Perrin gehörte 1526 zu den Mitunterzeichnern des Burgrechtsvertrags mit Bern und Freiburg, der Genf die Loslösung von Savoyen und den Aufstieg zur Stadtrepublik ermöglichte. Als Guillaume Farel und Johannes Calvin in einen Konflikt mit dem Stadtrat gerieten, der im April 1538 zu ihrer Ausweisung führte, gehörte Perrin zu ihren öffentlichen Unterstützern. Als Anführer der Guillermins (benannt nach Farels Vornamen Guillaume) setzte er sich für ein souveränes Genf ein, d. h. für mehr Distanz zu Bern. Er wurde damit beauftragt, den in Straßburg lebenden Calvin wieder nach Genf zurückzuholen. Der Konflikt, der ihn schließlich zu einem ausgesprochenen Gegner Calvins machte, entzündete sich an einer Hochzeitsfeier in der Genfer Oberschicht, bei der am 21. März 1546 zu Tamburinbegleitung getanzt worden war. Nicht alle Beteiligten zeigten vor dem Konsistorium eine zerknirschte Gesinnung, was einen Wutausbruch Calvins zur Folge hatte. Perrin akzeptierte zunächst die verlangte Buße. Dann wurden Angehörige der verschwägerten Familie Favre mehrfach vor das Konsistorium geladen. Françoise Favre, Perrins zweite Ehefrau, trat dabei selbstbewusst auf (in seinen Briefen nannte Calvin sie Penthesilea). Vorübergehend wurde eine Versöhnung erreicht, die 1548 in einem gemeinsamen Essen des Rats mit dem Ehepaar Perrin, Calvin und einem weiteren Pfarrer sichtbar zum Ausdruck kam. Nachdem die Perrinisten in der Stadtratswahl knapp unterlegen waren, kam es im Mai 1555 zu einem Tumult, die Calvins Parteigängern die Handhabe gab, ihre politischen Gegner auszuschalten. In einem Prozess wegen Landesverrat wurden mehrere ranghohe Genfer, darunter Perrin, zum Tode verurteilt, einige enthauptet – Perrin war rechtzeitig aus Genf geflohen. Er lebte danach im Exil in den von Bern besetzten savoyischen Territorien, wo er auch starb.savoyischen Territorien, wo er auch starb.
