Encyclopédie méthodique

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Encyclopédie méthodique par ordre des matières is a systematically structured encyclopedia in 206 volumes, published between 1782 and 1832 by the publisher Charles-Joseph Panckoucke and Thérèse-Charlotte Agasse (1775–1838), a daughter of Henri Agasse (1752–1813), was issued.

The Encyclopédie Méthodique ( Encyclopédie Méthodique, Ou Par Ordre De Matieres: Par Une Société De Gens De Lettres, De Savants Et D'Artistes; Précédée d'un Vocabulaire universel, servant de Table pour tout l'Ouvrage, ornée des Portraits de MM. Diderot et D'Alembert, premiers Éditeurs de l'Encyclopédie ) is a revision, expansion and division of the Encyclopédie Diderots and d'Alemberts into various specialist lexicons.

Panckoucke divided the material for this into 50 subject areas. Between 1781 (other sources: 1782 or 1793) and 1832 at least 206 volumes were published, initially by the Paris publishing house Agasse , then Panckoucke abandoned the project.
