Brief Summary:
Draft a letter from Antoine Honneste d’Adhémar de Monteil de Brunier, marquis d’Adhémar to Voltaire, written from Erlangen and dated 17 March 1757, with autograph corrections.
Detailed Summary:
D’Adhémar begins by discussing the royal reception of Voltaire’s Histoire universelle, adding that the Queen was touched by the brevity of the eulogy because friendship is not always fair. He then questions why Voltaire names Monteil, as the Bishop Legate to the Pope in the first Crusades as this Bishop was instead an Adhemar ancestor. He goes on to discuss Adhemar genealogy.
