Modern bookplate to front pastedowns. A scarce reference work the first division - covering mathematics and games - of the enormous and unwieldy Encyclopédie méthodique par ordre des matières initiated by Charles Panckoucke in an attempt to update and expand Diderot’s Encyclopédie. Originally intended to cover 26 parts it would update the original Encyclopédie while also rearranging its articles by subject instead of the random grouping of alphabetical order. Work began in 1782 and finished fifty years later 45 years later than intended with somewhere around 150-200 volumes depending on how the parts were gathered having been produced. Few subscribers will have survived five decades and the French Revolution and compete sets are practically and philosophically almost unimaginable. Even the individual divisions are scarce: this Mathematics division was one of the first completed but rarely appears on the market. The small division of ‘Games’ was issued with the third volume of Mathematics with its own set of plates. Hôtel de Thou [vol. 3 & 4 Chez Panckoucke] unknown

The Encyclopedia a monumental work edited by Denis Diderot and Jean Le Rond d'Alembert was a groundbreaking endeavour that aimed to systematically catalogue all human knowledge spanning 28 volumes published between 1751 and 1772. As a product of the Enlightenment era the Encyclopedia embodies the spirit of rational inquiry intellectual exchange and the scientific method as its contributors known as encyclopedists sought to understand the world through reason and empirical evidence. The editors Diderot and d'Alembert defined their goal : "As an Encyclopedia it is to define as well as possible the order and structure of human knowledge. As a Reasoned Dictionary of the Sciences Arts and Trades it is to contain the general principles that form the basis of each science and each art liberal or mechanical and the most essential facts that make up the body and substance of each". The emphasis on arts and trades during the Enlightenment period shifted the focus from the refined pursuits of the aristocracy to the everyday accomplishments of working people. This movement celebrated the skills and crafts of artisans farmers and other labourers recognising their importance in society and the value of their contributions to the economy. By highlighting the applied arts and crafts the Encyclopedia promoted a more egalitarian view of society where all individuals regardless of social class had a vital role to play in shaping culture and society.
