Summary "Oeuvres Completes de Rollin Tome 1" by Charles Rollin is a historical work written in the early 19th century. This volume appears to serve as a comprehensive edition of Rollin's historical writings, featuring critical observations and historical clarifications by M. Letronne, aimed at enhancing the understanding of Rollin's narrative. The text revisits ancient history, focusing on the pivotal events, figures, and cultures, thereby providing a reflective look at the development of civilization. The opening of the work introduces the necessity of a critical edition that rectifies past interpretations of Rollin's works, which have faced scrutiny for inaccuracies and superficial analysis. It highlights the author's awareness of the limitations in his accounts and acknowledges the criticisms that have arisen from scholars and contemporaries. The text emphasizes the importance of historical knowledge not merely for academic purposes but as a means to draw ethical lessons and reflect on moral virtues through the lens of past civilizations, paving the way for deeper engagement with the historical narrative that follows in subsequent chapters.
