Jean-Jacques Rousseau / The document inventory

Letters & fragments

Each inventory follows the numbering of an identified edition. “Complete” refers to that edition and document type; it does not claim to cover every surviving document by the philosopher.

The coverage labels distinguish fully indexed corpora from lists that remain partial.

Complete inventory for this edition

Verified inventory of 429 epistolary entries in the three named collections from volumes XII, XIII, and XVII. Non-epistolary headings are excluded. The heading_id identifiers belong to the digital source, not a universal critical numbering. Some items are received letters or third-party testimony; collections may repeat items. Incomplete dates remain incomplete. Completeness applies only to these three collections in this edition, not Rousseau’s complete correspondence as established by modern scholarship.
