The Complete Works of Voltaire (Œuvres complètes de Voltaire) is the first critical edition of the totality of Voltaire’s writings (in the original French) arranged chronologically.[1][2] The project was started by the bibliographer and translator Theodore Besterman who only lived to see the first two volumes published.[2][3] It is currently published by the Voltaire Foundation at the University of Oxford.

Each text is given an introduction, variants and detailed annotations. The first volume was published in 1968; the edition will comprise nearly 200 volumes by its completion in 2018.[4] In 2010, the foundation was awarded the Prix Hervé Deluen by the Académie Française for this fifty-year project.[5]
