Oxford University Voltaire

We are taking our expertise in state-of-the-art scholarly editing into the digital realm, with Oxford University Voltaire (OV) now our flagship project.

OV will be authoritative in the digital realm in the same way that the Complete works of Voltaire are currently regarded in the world of the printed scholarly edition.

The Complete Works of Voltaire

The Voltaire Foundation’s Complete Works of Voltaire (Œuvres complètes de Voltaire) is the first critical edition of the totality of his writings in the original French, arranged chronologically to reveal the evolution of his thought.

‘An unrivalled and indispensable resource for scholars working in the field of eighteenth-century studies’ (James Fowler, 2015)
