Barbier, Ouvrages anonymes, II, 1229 ; Actual place of publication from Bengesco ; First published: Paris [i.e. Geneva] in the same year, cf. Bengesco. Bengescu, G. Voltaire, no. 1859, note. ; Written by Voltaire. Cf. Bengesco, G. Voltaire, v. II, p. 317-318 ; "Probably a fictitious imprint. Compositorial practices (quire catchwords, arabic signature numerals, half plus one of each gathering signed) suggest that this edition may have been printed in the Netherlands or Germany." |
