Burman was accused of having fathered an illegitimate child
The Utrecht professor Pieter Burman is portrayed as a frantic hunter of the female gender. The occasion was the lawsuit filed by Dina van Woudenberg against Burman, which had thrown Utrecht into turmoil in 1709. Dina "an inferior female person" had accused Petrus Burmannus, professor of classical languages and history, of deflowering her at the fair in the year 1708. This was a staged attempt by Burman's enemies to discredit him. This history had set many pens in motion. A veritable pamphlet battle ignited. Burman's fondness for the stage in Utrecht had earned him the hatred of a number of orthodox Voetians. He was criticised for the text editions of classical writers, such as Petronius and Terentius, which he provided with philological commentary. The scrapey passages of these texts, explored by him to the bone, were blamed on his horny interests. However, his opponents did not succeed in overthrowing the moral deceiver Burman through their pamphlets. In 1715 when he succeeded Perizonius in Leiden, the pamphlet battle, which had already begun in 1706, came to an end.
