Présentation de l'éditeur :
Voltaire's most scathingly anti-Christian text, the Sermon descinquante, of which he consistently denied authorship, develops the arguments hewas to use over the coming decades in a multitude of virulent texts. In theperiod 1758-1759, biblical questions remain prominent with the Lettre sur leMessie and, in a gentler tone, the Précis de l'Ecclésiaste and Précis duCantique des cantiques. These years also saw the culmination of along-brewing quarrel over the reputation of the deceased minister JosephSaurin, which brought Voltaire's stay in Lausanne to a close. A series ofphilosophical dialogues and a conte round out his literary productions of thistwo-year span.
