# Comme quoi Napoléon n'a jamais existé

_ou, Grand erratum source d'un nombre infini d'errata à noter dans l'histoire du XIXe siècle_

By J.-B. Pérès.

"Comme quoi Napoléon n'a jamais existé" by J.-B. Pérès is a satirical pamphlet published in 1827. French physicist Jean-Baptiste Pérès crafts an elaborate mock-proof that Napoleon Bonaparte never existed. The work parodies Charles François Dupuis's rationalist biblical criticism, which argued Jesus never lived. By reducing such critical methods to absurd consequences, Pérès demonstrates that the same logic could "prove" Napoleon's supposed historicity actually derives from an ancient sun myth.
