Abstract

Theophrastus redivivus (1659) is one of the longest, most ponderous, and most reasoned philosophical manuscripts (1090 folios, nine hundred pages in the printed edition) and also the first systematic and explicit treatise of atheism in the entire history of philosophy, both ancient and early modern, even though he rarely uses the words “atheism” or “atheist” . It was present as a model and as a "myth" in the clandestine sphere, but it also acted as a truly influential stimulus, for example in the formation of ideas contained in Triregno di Pietro Giannone.
