何についての本か
『プロヴァンシアル』一六五六〜五七年のフランス語原典。引くべきはこちらであり、近代フランス散文を作ったのもこちらである。
背景と歴史
本目録には歴史的序文を付した英訳もある。だがこれはパスカルが書いたそのままの本文だ。この作品では言語そのものが論証なのだから、その点がとりわけ重い。この十八通の匿名書簡が勝ちを収めたのは、イエズス会の決疑論に対して何を言ったかによるだけではない。どう言ったかによる。日常のフランス語で、対話の形で、皮肉と短い文で。神学論争といえばラテン語で、専門家に向けて書かれていた時代にである。ヴォルテールはこれを、フランス語の散文で書かれた最初の天才の書と呼んだ。王命によって焼かれ、一六六〇年には禁書目録に載せられた。

The matter having been brought before the Sorbonne, seventy-one doctors undertook his defence, maintaining that the only reply he could possibly give to the demands made upon him in so many publications, calling on him to say if he held that these propositions were in that book, was that he had not been able to find them, but that if they were in the book, he condemned them in the book. Some even went a step farther and protested that, after all the search they had made into the book, they had never stumbled upon these propositions, and that they had, on the contrary, found sentiments entirely at variance with them. They then earnestly begged that, if any doctor present had discovered them, he would have the goodness to point them out; adding that what was so easy could not reasonably be refused, as this would be the surest way to silence the whole of them, M. Arnauld included; but this proposal has been uniformly declined. So much for the one side. On the other side are eighty secular doctors and some forty mendicant friars, who have condemned M. Arnauld's proposition, without choosing to examine whether he has spoken truly or falsely- who, in fact, have declared that they have nothing to do with the veracity of his proposition, but simply with its temerity. Besides these, there were fifteen who were not in favor of the censure, and who are called Neutrals. Such was the issue of the question of fact, regarding which, I must say, I give myself very little concern. It does not affect my conscience in the least whether M.…
