Brief Summary:
Autograph fragments of a preface by Baculard d’Arnaud intended for the Dresden-Rouen edition of Voltaire’s works, corrected by Voltaire. The MS dates to c.1750.
Detailed Summary:
The fragments are bound with pieces relating to Voltaire and his time. An unknown hand has endorsed the MS as ‘fragmens d’une Preface de Baculard D’arnaud, destinée a l’edition de Dresde Rouen des œuvr. de Voltaire. / jls sont de s la main de D’Arnaud et les corrections sont de celle de Voltaire’. The leaves have been bound together in the wrong order: the text begins on p.3 (f.195r), continues to p.8 (f.197v), continues on f.194v, and concludes on f.194r. The pagination appears to be in Voltaire’s hand.
