Published in 1791, this original volume from the complete works of Voltaire represents a powerful artifact from the height of the Enlightenment.
This is Tome Vingtième (Volume 20), printed in Aux Deux-Ponts by Sanson et Compagnie. The volume includes Voltaire’s historical and philosophical writings addressing religious conflict, Calvinism, Jansenism, Quietism, and missionary disputes in China, along with broader commentary on European society during the reign of Louis XIV.
These works reflect Voltaire’s role as one of the most influential intellectual figures in Western history.
The book retains its original period binding, featuring a leather spine with gilt title labels and marbled paper-covered boards.
