Voltaire - Œuvres complètes de Voltaire - 1826

Fascinating illustrated ensemble of this vast publishing movement which, after Voltaire's death in 1778, seeks to gather and organize the immense literary, philosophical, historical and polemical production of the writer -

However, it should be specified that the various so-called "complete" editions of Voltaire published at that time do not all have the same composition, and that the Delangle collection is bibliographically attested as a much larger venture, published between 1824 and 1832 and potentially reaching 95 volumes depending on the sets preserved, whereas some series or sub-sets are indeed described under the address Delangle Frères and dated 1826 -

The interest of the collection you present lies therefore less in the idea of a single work than in that of a true library devoted to Voltaire's thought, allowing a survey of the main areas to which he devoted himself for more than half a century -
