Supplément de Panckoucke

"In July of 1776, after eight years of financial and managerial haggling, the first volumes of the Robinet Supplément to the Encyclopédie finally went on the market. The editor had spent six years buying and borrowing articles from more than a hundred compilers, scientists, and scholars in many countries and of widely varying reputations and ability. The result is an abbreviated Enlightenment encyclopaedia: faulty, useful, summary, and provocative."*

BROWSE the 5th volume of plates for the Supplément.

The Supplément project is still under development. We are aware that many typographical errors have been introduced into the text when we captured the data. Unfortunately, due to the size of the Supplément and its great semantic diversity, the correction process we have begun will continue for some time.
