We've received so far comments, information and details from several
researchers. A few weeks ago, someone in Moscow told us about a letter
(totally unknowm and never published) residing in Saint-Petersburg
(Archives of the Russian Academy of Sciences), and the librarian sent us
a scan of the letter ! And we got recently valuable information from
libraries in Copenhagen, Uppsala, Leiden, The Hague, London.
We assume that Guy Patin wrote thousands of letters (in French and in
Latin). We have located (at least we hope so) most of the letters kept
in French public collections, but we believe that many of his letters
are located in private collections, AND abroad. That's why we contact
you today.
Our request :
Would you please check your own catalogues and holdings, and tell us
whether your library has a letter written ou received by Guy Patin ?
We thank very much for your help.
Sincerely,
Guy Cobolet, Director
