NOTE ON THE TEXT OF THE MANUSCRIPT

The state of the manuscript, the curiously tattered nature of the corners of many of its pages, the corrections and re-corrections in the script, some made immediately, or almost immediately, some after a period of time, have been described, as has the way in which de Vallone's thought seems to have developed as he wrote. As one might expect, Chapter IV, on the Scriptures, is the least corrected. The wide use made of Spinoza and Richard Simon was undoubtedly responsible for this. But there are so many corrections, particularly in the rest of the manuscript, and so many additional passages written in, over the lines of the original text, that it would be impossible here to refer to more than a few of the most significant. However, I do think that it is necessary to make some reference to these.

In general, as will have been noted, de Vallone became more radical - and also more outspoken - as he wrote. There are early indications of this tendency.

In the "Avertissement" (f. 3) he originally declared that it was the great number of disputing religious sects that was the cause of his undertaking his labours. He added that, in the heat of argument, one breaks through the crust of mysteries and discovers beneath nothing but "une amas de suppositions". All this was erased and changed to the milder explanation that it was the pleasure of thinking freely that caused him to write. How far this was the result of prudence, one can only conjecture. Certainly he was rapidly to lose this prudence, if such it was.

However, I do think that it is necessary to make some reference to these.

In general, as will have been noted, de Vallone became more radical - and also more outspoken - as he wrote. There are early indications of this tendency.

In the "Avertissement" (f. 3) he originally declared that it was the great number of disputing religious sects that was the cause of his undertaking his labours. He added that, in the heat of argument, one breaks through the crust of mysteries and discovers beneath nothing but "une amas de suppositions". All this was erased and changed to the milder explanation that it was the pleasure of thinking freely that caused him to write. How far this was the result of prudence, one can only conjecture. Certainly he was rapidly to lose this prudence, if such it was.

On f. 9 he refers to the work of making the Universe taking at least about 4000 years. This he erased. This could represent the abandonment of a naive, but traditional, view of cosmic chronology.

Again, on the previous folio, he originally referred to the Supreme and invariable Laws of Nature. For the two adjectives was substituted the single word "fecondes". However, a little earlier, he had referred to these laws as "constant" (which is not quite as strong as "invariable") and later they were to be regarded as both invariable and determined.

As has been seen, one problem that constantly exercised his mind was that of the eternity of souls. This preoccupation is strongly indicated in the text.

This is to be seen in Chapter II. Originally the section dealing with the duration of souls ended at f. 82 r. This part dealt with the opinions of the "ancients" and early Christians, and showed de Vallone's dislike of the idea of hell. Then came the title of Section IV, that concerning the union of body and soul. How­ever, this was erased, and Section III was continued, with the addition of argu­ments for the immortality of souls including the passage, already dealt with at

some length, in which de Vallone finally came down decisively in favour of their having existed from all eternity. The nature of the changes he made in this passage have been discussed. Moreover he was now favouring the idea of the transmigration of souls.

Again, on f. 89 v., there appears the title of Section III, and again it is erased, in favour of the quotation, or misquotation, from George Bull. Then a third time there appeared - on f. 90 r - the new title, which was crossed out and, on this occasion, the first words of the next sentence were inserted above the erased title and continued below it. At last had come the final and very important passage; that dealing with Spinoza. Section IV, on the union of body and soul followed, in due course beginning on f. 94 r.

However, de Vallone had not ended his consideration of the future life. There followed a little confusion. The next section was incorrectly numbered IV, and the title - ultimately that of Section VI - which asked whether there are spirits of different species, was written in, and in its turn erased (f. 98 r). Only the inaccurate number remained, above the new heading, which introduced the question as to whether there was any constant tradition about life after death. The solution, as has been seen, was one in favour of metempsychosis. These three sections illustrate the way in which de Vallone was hacking out his theory as he wrote. They may also indicate a certain obsession, and quite possibly uneasiness, about the future life.

There are other such examples of changes of plan in the writing of the treatise. It is possible that the substitution of "bon sens" for "conscience", on f. 167 v, in the title of Section III, in the chapter on Authority, may only indicate the correction of an error; but in Chapter V, that dealing with Christ and Christianity, there is a more significant alteration. The first version of the title of Section I was "Comment s'est formee la Religion Chretienne?". This was crossed out and, instead, Section I dealt with the person, doctrine and aims of Christ. Whatever this change represents, it certainly shows that de Vallone had decided to give greater prominence to his very favourable treatment of Christ.

The addition of new passages written in above the original lines of the text, has been mentioned. Two are worthy of particular notice. One is the story, taken from Grotius, that has already been noted (on f. 236 v). The other is a curious little narrative (f. 205 v), taken from Origen's commentary on St. John, in which Origen refers to the apocryphal Gospel of the Hebrews. (For this cf. Origen Comm. in Joh., 2:87 (XII, 6); also Cecile Blum, Origene, Commentaire sur St Jean, Tome I; (Sources Chretiennes, 120) Les Editions du Cerf (Paris, 1966), pp. 262, 263; also M.R. James, The Apocryphal New Testament, p. 2. note on Origen; and, for the story from Grotius, p. 11, note on Clement of Alexandria Stromata, III, 13, 92.) Both clearly represent later additions to the script, and that from Grotius has been given as an indication that de Vallone did read more widely than his use of Spinoza and Richard Simon would seem to imply. His other usages of Origen have been referred to. This Father does seem to have had an influence on his line of thought.

With regard to what one might describe as the material elements of the manuscript, the ink varies in colour, but, towards the end, many of the corrections are in a very black ink, which differs from that of the text which here is, or has become, very brown. Most of these alterations are not very noteworthy, but there is one exception. In the section on the Sybils, on the last page (f. 278 v) there are thirteen lines added in black ink and in a smaller handwriting, but still that of de Vallone, as are all the other corrections. Without the addition the section was stylistically complete. With it, and the addition to, and consequent extension of, the chapter, it is unfmished, though unlike the treatise itself, it does not end in the middle of a sentence. As the additions, or corrections, in black ink continue till almost the end of the manuscript, and as there are other corrections, in browner ink, on the same pages, these alterations would seem to be the result of a very late revision of the work.

One might add a rather curious point. On f. 44 v a sentence is completed half way down the page and the rest of the page left blank, and this for no obvious reason, as the text continues uninterrupted on f. 45 r - though admittedly Epicurus is being dealt with on f. 44 v and Empedocles on f. 45 r, and f. 44 v is very much corrected. The text, as a whole, has all the signs of being a first, perhaps provisional, and certainly very corrected version.

The paper used seems to be pretty uniform, but there certainly are exceptions. Unlike the paper of the bulk of the text, that of ff. 3-6 has a watermark - two lions facing one another. Owing to the condition of the manuscript, I was not able to take the necessary means for identification. Again, there are four leaves (ff. 60--63) which have been bound together and interpolated into the treatise. The writing is that of de Vallone but the paper used is whiter than the rest. The interpolation seems to show some confusion on the part of de Vallone. To make sense, the text has to be read in this order: f. 59 v, f. 64 r and then ff. 60--63. What is even more peculiar is that the recto of f. 64 ends in the middle of a sentence, which is continued on f .. 60 r, while f.. 64 verso begins a new chapter. The reason for this one can only conjecture.

The difference in the size of the leaves could be explained by the fact that some of the edges have been trimmed, while others have been left rough, or b€::cause the trimming has been done unevenly.

One interesting fact is that there are two sorts of pagination. The first - that used in this book - is that of the present bound volume of the manuscript, which gives a separate number of each folio.

The second is more curious. On f. 1 r there is a rather indistinct number one, erased. On f. 19 - oddly, on the verso - there is an erased number two. From this folio onwards this second sort of (erased) numeration occurs in intervals of 12,8,6 or 4 folios. F. 25 r, for example, also bears the number 3, erased. The key section is that of ff. 1-18. F. 1 is the same sheet of paper as f. 18. Ff. 2-7 represent an interpolation, or rather a double interpolation. Ff. 2 and 7, contain­ing the fair - and later - copy of the Avertissement - are one sheet of paper. Ff. 3 and 6 are another sheet of paper, and ff. 4 and 5, a third. Ff. 3 and 4 con-

tain de Vallone's much corrected Avertissement, and f. 5 with its sentence and a half, and f.6, the blank folio, have already been described (p. 67). F. 8 is the same sheet of paper as f. 17. F. 1 and ff. 8-18 make a single group of 12 folios, self contained, of the same sort of paper, and representing the first eighteen folios of the treatise.

The conclusion would seem to be that the manuscript as a whole was originally divided into groups of leaves, 12, 8, 6 or 4 in number (each group being always of the same sort of paper), and that in Eugene's version these were bound together in the existing volume. Certainly in every case the first leaf in every group is the same sheet of paper as the last, the second the same sheet as the

penultimate, and so on, and there are two interpolations, ff. 2-7 and ff. 60-63. De Vallone, therefore, would seem to have left his manuscript in orderly groups of 12, 8, 6 or 4 folios. He probably inserted the interpolation ff. 6~63 himself and, it would seem very likely, left his Avertissement (with its watermark) separate. As ff. 2 and 7 (the later Avertissement which encloses de Vallone's Avertissement) are bound within the group of folios which starts with f. 1 and ends with f. 18, it would seem that this interpolation was not made by de Vallone, but by Eugene. Who bound the present volume as a whole one can only con­jecture. Possibly de Vallone left his manuscript as loose groups of folios and it was bound later by Prince Eugene's librarians. But the whole picture is that of an unfinished work. It is none the less interesting for that very definite impression­the work of a man who was near to death, and of a man who had bought his paper from a printer in large sheets of varying sizes, which had been folded and cut to a roughly uniform size either by the printer or by the author himself, large sheets which had been numbered according to the second pagination. The present folio enumeration certainly does not come from de Vallone. He would hardly have placed his Avertissement after the first page of his treatise, and he certainly could not have numbered the later folios containing the fair copy of that Avertissement which is contained in the volume belonging to Prince Eugene.

In sum, one can say that the script as it is now bound is disorganised but very interesting. It reveals a great deal about de Vallone. A much more detailed examination would, no doubt, reveal a great deal more. Rarely has one had the opportunity of scrutinising the mental processes of such a devious man while he was at work. But this detailed examination would require another book.
