This paper provides a corrected and updated inventory of Christoph Sand's (1644-80) epistolary, including letters by or to Johannes Becius, Henry Oldenburg, Constantijn Huygens Sr, Johann Georg Graevius and Pierre-Daniel Huet. It also contains the first edition of Sand's earliest preserved letter and points to previously unnoticed material 1 El presente trabajo es parte de los realizados en el marco del proyecto Edición y estudio de textos bíblicos y parabíblicos (FFI2017-86726-P), financiado por AEI / FEDER (UE). Buena parte de la investigación resultante en el mismo la llevé a cabo como Scaliger Fellow en la Universidad de Leiden (verano de 2018), institución a la que agradezco su excelente acogida. Agradezco a Henk Nellen y Ad Leerintveld su amable ayuda en materia de paleografía neerlandesa, y a Stephen Snobelen su generosa colaboración para el estudio del material manuscrito de Sand en la Royal Society. 1 related to his translation of the Philosophical Transactions. Sand is a relevant but neglected figure of the late seventeenth-century Republic of Letters. He was born in Königsberg, studied at the university of his native city and in Oxford, and then he established himself in Amsterdam as a proofreader and as independent writer of controversial books on theology and Church history.
The story of the Latin edition of the early volumes [of Philosophical Transactions] is a complex one and not easy to reconstruct" (Kronick 2004:165). The lengthiest available account (Johns 1998:514-521) is based on the edition of the Oldenburg-Sand correspondence by Hall (1973-1977). This chapter engages with the primary texts involved and provides a substantially revised account of the Neo-Latin translation of Philosophical Transactions, challenging previous assumptions and also revealing for the first time the presence of theologically heterodox material.
ResumenEl tratado clandestino Origo et fundamenta religionis christianae ataca los fundamentos del cristianismo y propone una religión natural. Pese a que todas las copias manuscritas que lo conservan datan del siglo xVIII, se encuentran suficientes indicios que señalan al silesio Martin Seidel como su autor y documentan la existencia del texto a finales del siglo xVI o principios del xVII. Las primeras fuentes sobre Seidel lo vinculan con los antitrinitarios de Heidelberg (1570), los unitarios polacos (1580) y los "cripto-socinianos" de Altdorf (1610). En este artículo valoro dichas fuentes y corrijo a la luz de las mismas algunas afirmaciones de la crítica reciente sobre Seidel y su Origo.Palabras clave: filosofía clandestina, reforma radical, neolatín, antitrinitarismo, socinianismo, exégesis bíblica, orígenes del cristianismo.Los primeros testimonios sobre Martin Seidel, autor de Origo et fundamenta religionis christianae 1
