Brief Summary:

Contemporary copy of ‘À M** la C** De**’ dating to c.1713.

Detailed Summary:

The MS contains several variants. The most notable is l.24, where the name ‘Marot’ has been replaced with ‘Rousseau’. As this variant does not make sense, it implies that it was introduced by the copyist rather than by Voltaire himself.
