BUDNÆANS, in ecclesiastical history, so called from the name of their leader, Simon Budnæus. They not only denied all kind of religious worship to Jesus Christ, but asserted, that he was not begotten by any extraordinary act of divine power; being born, like other men, in a natural way. Budnæus was deposed from his ministerial functions in the year 1584, and publicly excommunicated, with all his disciples; but afterwards abandoning his peculiar sentiments, he was readmitted to the communion of the Socinian sect. Crellius ascribes the origin of the above opinion to Adam Neuser.

BUDOÀ, a maritime town of Dalmatia, with a bishop's see, subject to Austria. It is seated between the gulf of Cattaro and the city of Dulugno, on the coast of Albania; and is an important fortress, where the Venetians formerly kept a strong garrison. In 1667, it suffered greatly by an earthquake; and in 1686 was besieged by Soliman, basha of Scutari; but General Cornaro obliged him to raise the siege. E. Long. 19. 22. N. Lat. 42. 12.
