AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Complete series of Voltaire's Theatre published in the author's works, at the false address of Neuchâtel, actually in Paris at Panckoucke (34 volumes between 1771 and 1777).

Mostly a reprint of the texts from the Geneva edition [Cramer; Paris, Panckoucke, 1768-1777. 30 volumes].
Voltaire does not seem to have participated in this edition, for which there is no overall volume. Several volumes were reprinted in 1783.

Eight volumes in antique binding, marbled Havana calf. Spines with raised bands, with gilt title pieces, compartments, and panels. Red edges.

Condition: wear on the bindings, several corners pierced, missing fragments for some title parts, missing for five heads. Slightly soiled paper, fine foxing. Fair condition.

Contains, among others: Oedipus - Semiramis - Merope - Tancred - Octave - The Prudish Manine - The Woman Who Is Right...
