La fortuna d’un manuscrit clandestin Une traduction espagnole de l’Examen critique

This article analyzes the Spanish translation in 1822 of the French manuscript entitled Examen critique des apologistes de la religion chrétienne (1733), published in French in 1766. The opportunity to publish this text in Spain was provided by the circumstances surrounding the “constitutional triennium.” The footnotes by the anonymous translator offer both indirect irony and direct criticism of Christianity, which proves the subversive intentions of the translation.
