Babell; a Satirical Poem on the General Assembly in the Year M.DC.XCII (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781171931874)

Babell; a Satirical Poem on the General Assembly in the Year M.DC.XCII is a scathing poetic critique of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1692. Attributed to Archibald Pitcairne and published by the Maitland Club, this satirical work offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and political tensions of late 17th-century Scotland. The poem uses wit and biting commentary to expose the perceived follies and hypocrisies within the Assembly.

This edition, carefully reproduced, makes this historical satire accessible to modern readers interested in Scottish history, religious studies, and the art of political satire. "Babell" remains a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of the period and the enduring power of poetry as a tool for social commentary.
