This article deals with an unknown mathematical manuscript to be found in the Recueil Original of the manuscript of the Pensées. I give a technical description of the original manuscript, followed by a mathematical analysis of the proposition proved by Pascal. The interest of this study lies in the fact that this theorem is the only handwritten draft remaining in Pascal's mathematical works.
