ROUSSEAU Jean-Jacques (1712-1778).
AUTOGRAPHIC MANUSCRIT| 1 1/2 pages in-4 written on the right-hand side.
Note in preparation for the work on women that Rousseau undertook between 1746 and 1750 for his patron Mme Louise Dupin, and which never saw the light of day. This fragment (the beginning of the first sentence is missing) relates to the story of Queen Cleopatra.
"It's an abominable story, but one which had examples at the time, and which was apparently coloured in such a way as to exonerate the Queen, since she subsequently married a Prince of the greatest reputation there was in the East.
However, with the help of the Romans, Ptolomeus returned to his states, killed his daughter the Queen and the richest people in the country, seized their property and died Possessor of Egypt shortly after this horrible deed. He had made the Roman people his executors, and his main wish was that his son Ptolomeus, who was later named Denis, should marry his sister, the eldest of his remaining daughters. This was the beautiful Cleopatra, who after her husband's death obtained from Caesar the restitution of her kingdom, which another of her brothers had usurped. After the death of the latter
Cleopatra, Egypt became a dependent province of the Roman Empire.
