Chevalier de Seingalt
In this set of material, the evidence suggsting whether Chevalier de Seingalt's memoirs are true or not is discussed. The article mentiones three main hypotheses proving that Seingalt's memoirs are not faithful. On the contrary, the lecturer from the listening passage convincingly challenges the esay, claiming that reasons are not so trustworthy.
First of all, the professor refutes the idea, insisting that de Seingalt borrowed money because of bad financial situation. The reading passage maintains that in his notes Seingalt wrote about time when he was living is Switzerland that he was very wealthy, and spend myriads of money on parties and gambling. But recently it found out, that Seingalt had borrowed great amount of capital from Swiss merchants. Nevertheless, the lecturer proposes, that it is clear that Seingalt was not poor. When he had been organizing huge parties, he need huge money immediately, to have such cash people often sell their wealth, but it takes a while, before they converted the wealth into money. So it is possible that Seingalt had borrowed some finances from his friends before the cost of sold wealth arrived.
On top of that, the proffesor discredits the second notion, which assumes, that Seingalt had invented many details on his story about the meeting with Voltaire. The essay claims, that Seingalt had written the part about meeting with Voltaire many years after it occured, and he could not remembered all the details clearly. Nonetheless, the academic assumes, that there are evidences, proposing that Seingalt had been writing about the meeting with Voltaire each night, he did so to remember all the factors distinctly. When writiting his memoires, most probably he reffered to the help of that notes and journals.
In the end, the academic rebuts the notion, claiming that de Seingalt had composed many facts about his escape from the jail of Venice. The abstract maintains, that in his memoires Seingal wrote about escape, that he had opened a hole on the celling using a piece of metal, and climbed out through it. Critics believe that he lies to make the reading enjoyable, because Seingal had very politicaly influencive friends, who could bribe the jailers to free him. However, the professor assumes, that in the jails there were people with even more well-connected friends, if bribing jailers was possible, they could free their friends immediately. There is another fact too. In very old governmental documents of Venice it is mentioned, that the the cell where was living Seingal, had to be repaired, because of a hole in the celling. Date of the document were aproximately after escape that Seingal describes. This is a strong prove, that Seingal is not lying, and he did everything as he said.
Hereby, the professor brings counter-arguments proving that the reading passage is not precise enough.
