Hunter, Michael (2016) Pitcairneana: an atheist text by Archibald Pitcairne. The Historical Journal 59 (02), pp. 595-621. ISSN 0018-246X.
Abstract
This article presents an overtly atheistic text from the early eighteenth century that has hitherto been completely unknown. It survives in manuscript in the Houghton Library at Harvard University, to which it was presented in 1841, and is claimed to be the work of the Scottish medical theorist, satirist, and poet, Archibald Pitcairne (1652–1713). Here, its links with Pitcairne and his milieu are assessed and its content evaluated, in conjunction with the provision of an annotated edition of the text itself.
