VOLTAIRE

Collection complette des oeuvres de Voltaire, première édition

S.n. [ Cramer], s.l. [Genève] 1757 - 1763, In-8 (13x20cm), 21 volumes reliés.


First collective edition with the Cramer brothers with relay titles dated 1757, not 1756. We learn from Cioranescu that barely 3 weeks had passed in April 1756 since the release of the complete works that Voltaire wanted to insert certain texts and correct some others. New title pages were therefore printed on the date of 1757. However, and this is the importance of this edition, certain texts were reprinted or articles added, this is how La Henriade was reprinted, and that the fourth volume of dramatic works was increased. As Cioranescu points out, some volumes bearing the date 1756 are in fact 1757, and as you can easily see, all the false titles are from 1756 and have not been changed, as the rest essential volumes.
