‎VOLTAIRE‎
‎Commentaire sur le livre des délits et des peines, par un avocat de province. Nouvelle édition corrigée & augmentée.‎

‎(Lyon ?), 1767.‎

Reference : 18355


‎ Contrairement à ce qu'indique le titre, il s'agit d'un ouvrage autonome, inspiré par l'ouvrage de Beccaria, plus que son commentaire. Voltaire s'y applique à une critique de la justice d'Ancien Régime et du rôle de la religion dans la société, examinant les peines contre les hérétiques, les hérésies, la condamnation au bûcher de Simon Morin qui se croyait "envoyé de Dieu", celle de Michelle Chaudron, accusée de sorcellerie, etc... Seconde édition, imprimée sans doûte à Lyon selon le catalogue de la BNF. La première avait parue l'année précédente à Genève. Quelques annotation d'un lecteur du XIXe. Des manques de papier au dos. /// In-12 de (4), 121, (1), iii pp. Caronnage de percaline verte du XIXe //// Contrary to the title, this is a stand-alone work inspired by Beccaria's work, rather than a commentary on it. Voltaire applies himself to a critique of Ancien Régime justice and the role of religion in society, examining punishments against heretics, heresies, the condemnation to the stake of Simon Morin who believed himself to be "sent by God", that of Michelle Chaudron, accused of witchcraft, etc.... Second edition, probably printed in Lyon according to the BNF catalog. The first had appeared the previous year in Geneva. Some annotations by a 19th-century reader. Paper missing from spine. /// PLUS DE PHOTOS SUR WWW.LATUDE.NET‎
