. . . "Menno Simons (1496 \u2013 31 January 1561) was an Anabaptist religious leader from the Friesland region of the Low Countries. Simons was a contemporary of the Protestant Reformers and his followers became known as Mennonites. \"Menno Simons\" (/\u02C8m\u025Bno\u02D0 \u02C8sim\u0254ns/) is the Dutch version of his name; the Frisian version is Minne Simens (/\u02C8m\u026An\u0259 \u02C8simn\u0329s/), the possessive \"s\" creating a patronym meaning \"Minne, son of Simen\" (cf. English family names like Williams and Rogers)."@en . . . "1561-01-31Z"^^ . . . . "Dutch theologian" . "1496Z"^^ . "Menno Simons"@en . . "1561Z"^^ . "Simons, Menno"@en .
