Beverland was a lawyer and a rich and extremely gifted man of letters, but due to his writings gained a bad reputation and fled to England. His 'Peccatum originale' (1678, reprinted under his own name in 1679) posed that man's original fall from grace solely originated from Adam and Eve's ''conversatio carnalis". Beverland was forced to retract these views and was fined 100 silver dukatons. Beverland did not mend his ways.: Brunet vol. I, p. 837: Graesse vol. I, p. 357: Ebert, 2076: Gay-Lemmonier vol.
