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. 410 0$aBrill's Studies in Intellectual History$v298. 606 $aPhilologists$zNetherlands$vBiography 606 $aClassicists$zNetherlands$vBiography 606 $aHumanism$zNetherlands$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aSex$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aSin, Original$xHistory of doctrines 607 $aNetherlands$xIntellectual life$y17th century 607 $aNetherlands$xChurch history$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilologists 615 0$aClassicists 615 0$aHumanism$xHistory 615 0$aSex$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aSin, Original$xHistory of doctrines. 676 $a001.3092 700 $aHollewand$b Karen Eline$f1986-$01066412 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511688503321 996 $aThe banishment of Beverland$92549143 997 $aUNINA
