Voltaire’s ‘short explosive’ critique of clerical taxation with 7 further pamphlets which it inspired, most with false imprints in ‘Londres’ and ‘Utrech’.

Duodecimo volume bound in contemporary polished calf, ‘Les Voix’ to the spine label. Marbled endpapers; an early owner has written ‘Recueil de Petites Pieces faites a L’occasion des affaires du clerge En 1750 Au Novembre du 10.’ Several of the pamphlets have the remnants of an owner’s name at the head of the title page but this was trimmed during binding. The pamplets are in very good condition. Old casemark on final flyleaf. The imprints appear as following:

1 [Jean de Dieu d’Olivier] Lettre de Turc a Son Correspondant a Constantinople, 1750, Londres - probably Amsterdam, pp22, name of early owner above the title but shaved during binding.

2 [Voltaire] La Voix du Sage du Peuple, 1750, Amsterdam(?), Chez le Sincere, pp16

3 [Joseph Constantin] La Voix du Pretre, 1750, A Utrech, Paris(?) Chex Chrisos-tome Mis-an-Mitre, a la verite [2] pp94

4 La Voix du Poete et Celle du Levite, 1750, Genimanie en Parisis Chez Philosolphes, a l’Enseigne de la Verite, pp22 - a reponse to Voltaire and Constantin

5 [Jean de Dieu d’Olivier] La Voix du Fou et des Femmes, 1750, a Londres [Paris], pp12

6 Memoires pour Servir a L’Histoire des Immunites de L’Eglise ou Les Conferences Ecclesiastiques de Madame de.... La Voix de La Femme, 1750 [Paris], pp12

7 [caption title] La Voix du Riche [1750] [Paris] pp24

8 [De la Barre] Les Voix Intervenantes La Voix du Pauvre, 1751, La Haye, pp34

Voltaire’s La Voix du Sage du Peuple was the first of the philosopher’s works to be put on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. An uncommon work, it is often found bound up with one or more of these related imprints that it sparked into existence.
