The manuscript is a fragment of various poems written in Voltaire’s hand. The poems belong to one of Voltaire’s notebooks written between 1735 and 1750, The Leningrad Group of Notebooks, also known as Sottisier. The Leningrad Group of Notebooks received scholarly attention from Prince Alexander Ivanovich Lobanov-Tostovsky, Léozun-Le Duc, and Desnoiresterres. The original manuscript was transcribed by Beuchot (1844) and later reproduced by Rostopschine with Léozun-Le Duc as an editor (1880). Please note that the incipits in vol. 81 and Caussy’s inventory do not correspond, with Caussy’s catalogue featuring ‘the sodomites’ in plural.
