NAUSEA (GRAU), FRIEDRICH. - Theologian and bishop, b. at Waischenfeld (whence the name Blancicampianus) ca. 1496, d. at Trent on 6 February 1552. In 1524 Cardinal Lorenzo Campeggio took him on as his secretary at the Diet of Nuremberg and at the Colloquy of Regensburg, where he was given the task of negotiating with Melanchthon and with Erasmus.
Appointed in 1525 parish priest and canon of the collegiate church of St. Bartholomew in Frankfurt am Main, he was forced to flee because of the violence of the Lutherans, and moved to Mainz, where he held the office of preacher of the Cathedral. In 1534 Ferdinand also elected him his councillor and court preacher. In 1538 he was appointed coadjutor of his friend J. Fabri, bishop of Vienna. He took part in the religious colloquies of Hagenau and of Worms (1540-41), distinguishing himself by his learning and his conciliatory spirit. In 1541 he succeeded Fabri in the episcopal see of Vienna and for eleven years laboured tirelessly to resolve the religious conditions of the diocese. He took part enthusiastically in the discussions concerning the necessity and the organization of the forthcoming council and worked tirelessly for its success. In 1545 Ferdinand I appointed him his orator at that same council, but it was impossible for him to attend it; he took part instead in the second period (1551-52) and was struck down by death at Trent.
