Isaac Newton’s most controversial religious principle was his bitterly held opposition to the doctrine of the Trinity. The extraordinary and voluminous collection of Newton manuscripts and papers in New College Library contains an autograph manuscript copy of his An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture. Written in 1690, it is among Newton’s most fiercely argued texts.
