Why was this humanist scholar exiled from one of the most tolerant parts of Europe in the seventeenth century? To answer this question, this book places Beverland’s writings on sex, sin, and scholarship in their historical context for the first time. Beverland argued that sexual lust was the original sin and highlighted the importance of sex in human nature, ancient history, and his own society. His audacious works hit a raw nerve: Dutch theologians accused him of atheism, he was abandoned by his humanist colleagues, and he was banished by the University of Leiden. By positioning Beverland’s extraordinary scholarship in the context of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic, this book examines how his radical studies challenged the intellectual, ecclesiastical, and political elite, providing a fresh perspective upon the Dutch Republic in the last decades of its Golden Age.Brill's Studies in Intellectual History298.PhilologistsNetherlandsBiographyClassicistsNetherlandsBiographyHumanismNetherlandsHistory17th centurySexReligious aspectsChristianitySin, OriginalHistory of doctrinesNetherlandsIntellectual life17th centuryNetherlandsChurch history17th centuryPhilologistsClassicistsHumanismHistorySexReligious aspectsChristianity.Sin, OriginalHistory of doctrines.001.3092Hollewand Karen Eline1986-1723689NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910826973103321The banishment of Beverland4125151UNINA
