Literature | Libertines A sect of heretics in Holland, led by Quinton a factor, and Copin. They maintained that nothing is sinful but to those who think it sinful, and that perfect innocence is to live without doubt. By a "libertine" is now generally meant a profligate, or one who puts no restraint on his personal indulgence. "A libertine, in earlier use, was a speculative free-thinker in matters of religion and in the theory of morals ... but [it has come] to signify a profligate."- Trench: On the Study of Words, lecture iii. p. 90.
