Voltaire Letter on the Pretended Comet in 1773
Paris letter discusses a Parisian belief that a comet would end the world on May 26 1773. It debates Newtonian heat estimates, Seneca and Plutarch on comets, and traces end of the world fears from ancient to medieval times. The piece mocks superstition while noting historical quotations and public spectacle.
