Page "Lucilio Vanini" Paragraph 4

Returning to Italy, he made an attempt to teach in Genoa, but was driven once more to France, where he tried to clear himself of suspicion by publishing a book against atheism, Amphitheatrum Aeternae Providentiae Divino-Magicum ( 1615 ).

Though the definitions of God are somewhat pantheistic, the book served its immediate purpose.

That the book does not expound Vanini's actual views, the author expressly stated in his second work, De Admirandis Naturae Reginae Deaeque Mortalium Arcanis ( Paris, 1616 ), which, originally certified by two doctors of the Sorbonne, was later re-examined and condemned.
