This complement to the "Corpus des notes marginales series"
reproduces marginalia by Voltaire found in works outside of his
personal library in both printed books and manuscripts. It occupies
a unique place within the series as some of the texts included
therein were annotated by Voltaire not for his own use but for
friends, acquaintances and correspondents. The volume therefore
offers a rare glimpse at marginalia whose chief purpose was to
impress a certain image of Voltaire himself upon the recipients of
the annotated works. A retrospective introduction to the "Corpus
des notes marginales de Voltaire" series provides a fascinating
portrait of Voltaire as a reader. Contributors: Samuel Bailey, Jean
Dagen, Ethel Groffier, John R. Iverson, Edouard Langille,
Christiane Mervaud, Christophe Paillard, Jean-Alexandre Perras,
Gillian Pink, John Renwick, Alain Sandrier, Gerhardt Stenger, Gemma
Tidman, David Williams, Irina Zaitseva.
