There are a significant number of crossings out throughout. Missing or corrected text has been added superscript, or in between line and linked to the relevant place within the text through the use of corresponding symbols. Some of these corrections, such as the addition of ‘cette’ at the beginning of l.8 of f.1v appear to be in Voltaire’s hand.
