EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the original copy of the first "Letter written to a provincial" by Blaise Pascal, an influential French philosopher and mathematician. Dated January 23,1656, this letter was penned under the pseudonym Louis de Montalte and is housed in the Library of Port-Royal in Paris.

The delicate details on the page are beautifully preserved, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry and significance of this literary masterpiece. Pascal's "Letter written to a provincial" holds great importance within religious circles, particularly Jansenism. This controversial movement within Catholicism sought reform and emphasized human sinfulness while advocating for divine grace. As such, this letter became a key piece in shaping religious discourse during that era. The image itself is expertly captured by Stefano Bianchetti, showcasing his talent as an engraver and artist. The intricate lines and textures bring depth to the print, further enhancing our appreciation for both Bianchetti's skill and Pascal's work. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of how literature has shaped our understanding of religion throughout history.
