Brief Summary:

Contemporary copy of the role of Vendôme from Adélaïde Du Guesclin, produced by Henri Louis Lekain c.1765.

Detailed Summary:

Lekain has copied out the part of Vendôme and includes cues from the speeches of other actors. The text closely resembles the 1765 edition that Lekain himself played a key role in and it is likely that the manuscript copy was made from an edition produced under Voltaire’s control, such as the Nouveaux mélanges or the aforementioned edition.
