"In het voorwoord van zijn Lucianus-vertaling uit 1679 voelde Steven Blankaert zich genoodzaakt het uitgebreid voor Lucianus op te nemen. Te onregt werd hy beschuldigt van Atheïstery zo luidt de kern van Blankaerts betoog. Het heeft er dan ook alle schijn van, dat Lucianus' reputatie er de oorzaak van was dat Blankaerts vertaling niet meer herdrukt werd en dat zijn werk in het algemeen nauwelijks in het Nederlands werd vertaald."
