SN - Lettres Egyptiennes et angloises, ou correspondance, historique, philosophique - 1742

Rare edition of this work designed in the form of scholarly and worldly correspondence, allowing, through an epistolary exchange, a wide variety of historical, philosophical, critical and literary questions considered original, curious or unusual -

Using letters gives the book great flexibility, for this method allows moving from one subject to another while preserving the appearance of an intellectual conversation between cultivated correspondents -

The pairing of the terms « Egyptian » and « Anglo » evokes a dialogue between different cultural horizons, with Egypt as a historical and exotic setting and England as an intellectual and cultural reference, two universes particularly interesting for European readers of the eighteenth century -
