Notes

For another migration of the same critical arguments against Saint Paul, see Jacques-Pierre Brissot, 'Lettres philosophiques sur St. Paul, sur sa doctrine politique, morale et religieuse et sur quelques points de la religion chrétienne, considérés politiquement, traduit de l’Anglais par le philosophe de Ferney et trouvées dans le portefeuille de M.V. son ancien secrétaire' (1783, STN).

See Marie-Hélène Cotoni, 'L’Exégèse du Nouveau Testament dans la philosophie française du dix-huitième siècle' (1984, The Voltaire Foundation), pp.299–302, for a comparison between Annet’s text and d’Holbach’s translation.

For Annet and Holbach references in Brissot's book, see Cotoni, pp.373–75.
