| Summary, etc. | The author examines a Latin quote in Pascal’s Pensées, included in the preparatory fragments for Les Provinciales (S. 796). The source is a passage from the Astronomica of the Stoic astronomer poet Marcus Manilius, which were well known in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Pascal, however, modifies the text. Actually, the same lines by Manilius had been transformed by the Jesuit Nicolas Caussin in the pages about Clotilde (1627) in his Cour Sainte. This article analyzes the different moral meanings that these two rewritings impose on the verses by Manilius. |
