Calas was convicted and brutally executed, but serious doubts about the evidence led Voltaire to campaign for his rehabilitation. The case became a powerful symbol of religious intolerance and judicial injustice and played an important role in Enlightenment arguments for reason, tolerance and legal reform.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216469705043,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421144072531,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-calas-affair-folio-society-886","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
