Brief Summary:
Copy of ‘Le Rétablissement de la police sous le règne de Louis XIV Poème’, attributed to Voltaire. The poem is undated.
Detailed Summary:
This copy of the poem appears in a recueil relating to Voltaire and his age. It sits between a poem by Voltaire titled ‘La Vanité’ and notebook fragment 29a, written in the hand of Wagnière. The poem is not written in a known hand, but has what looks to be an attribution in Voltaire’s hand to ‘delinare’ or ‘de linant’. This could refer to Michel Linant.
The poem is neither a draft nor a fair copy and bears several corrections throughout.
