Recently acquired for @tayoxford.bsky.social through the William Barber Fund, this previously unrecorded edition of Candide, dated 1791 (the year in which Voltaire's remains were transferred to the Panthéon), with two plates #c18th #c18 #18thc

Exciting news about the recent acquisition of a 1791 edition of Voltaire’s Candide. The edition is recorded – there are copies in Geneva and Louvain – but it is certainly rare. A Voltaire Foundation (voltairefoundation.wordpress.com) and @tayoxford.bsky.social blog coming soon!
