In the history of scholarly practice, Voltaire stands out among eighteenth-century authors for his critical attitude towards erudite reading habits. His contempt for the "compilateurs" is a radical expression of the Enlightenment desire to write free of the traditions and burdens of the past. His famous interventions in Ancien Regime court cases are also emblematic of the action-oriented philosophy of the period. This article investigates the role played in the case of the Chevalier de La Barre by documents that Voltaire called "excerpts." The case was the last Voltaire was involved in and concerned a young man, charged with blasphemy, who was eventually beheaded and burnt in 1766, Voltaire's Dictionnaire philosophique portatif (1764) nailed to his torso. With reference to two texts in particular-Relation de la mort du chevalier de La Barre (1766) and Le Cri du sang innocent (1775)-I focus on Voltaire's practice of excerpting from the court transcripts and on their specific role in his fight for the rehabilitation of the victims.

不真实时代的摘录,或伏尔泰的摘录和正义复兴的实践

在学术实践史上,伏尔泰因其对博学阅读习惯的批判态度而在 18 世纪作家中脱颖而出。他对“编纂者”的蔑视是启蒙运动渴望摆脱过去传统和负担的一种激进表达。他对旧政权法院案件的著名干预也是该时期以行动为导向的哲学的象征。本文调查了伏尔泰称之为“摘录”的文件在 Chevalier de La Barre 案件中所扮演的角色。该案是伏尔泰最后一次卷入并涉及一名被控亵渎神灵的年轻人,他最终于 1766 年被斩首并被烧死,伏尔泰的 Dictionnaire philosophique portatif (1764) 被钉在他的躯干上。
