Handsome copy.La guerre des dieux is a satirical poem in which the gods of the Christian religion and those of Greco-Roman mythology clash; it gave rise to numerous complaints from its publication and was at the same time placed very highly in this type of production due to the quality of its language and style. The first editions are sought after because all subsequent ones were expurgated. Following this famous poem by Parny an amateur has gathered several texts from the same period accounting for the situation of religion in France; the texts illuminate each other and allow one to understand the circumstances that could have given birth to Parny's poem. Chénier's second text is also a satire on religion and philosophers. Theophilanthropy emerged in 1797 a movement placing the love of God and mankind above all things and departing from the church. The article that follows is a defense of natural religion and its adherents. The last text brings together philosophy and natural religion and rejects all superstition. Bookplate of Auguste Dide. Chez Didot unknown
