Preface to the electronic edition
Originally written in French, Le plaidoyer d'un fou was
published in 1887-1888. A German translation Die Beichte eines
Thoren appeared in 1893. This English translation by Ellie
Schleussner appeared in 1912. A Swedish translation by John Landquist
appeared in 1914 in part 26 of the posthumous collected works,
En dåres försvarstal.
The 1912 book was digitized in July 2008 at the University of
California Libraries by the Internet Archive, from where the scanned
images and OCR text in June 2023 were copied to Project Runeberg.
This book can also be found in Project Gutenberg.
This volume was scanned elsewhere and made available by the Internet Archive,
from where the scanned images were copied to Project Runeberg.
We very much appreciate that they have made this possible
and want to encourage other digital library projects to
follow their example. Read more about Project Runeberg's
image sources.
