Supplément à l'Encyclopédie. Edita da Jean Baptiste René Robinet. Parigi: Panckoucke & Amsterdam: Marc-Michel Rey, 1776-1777: 4 volumi [I-IV].

First edition of the work that marked a profound revolution in the diffusion of culture and thought in Europe. It is one of the most splendid products of the Enlightenment, and one of the greatest landmarks of Western intellectual history. "A monument in the history of European thought; the pinnacle of the age of reason; a primary driving force in undermining the Ancien régime and announcing the French Revolution; a permanent source for all aspects of eighteenth-century civilization" (PMM). "The largest encyclopedia of science, which has had a widespread effect in establishing uniformity of terminology, concept and procedure in all fields of science and technology" (Grolier / Horblit). Most of the entries were written by Diderot and D'Alembert; other collaborators include Baron d'Holbach, Rousseau, Voltaire, Montesquieu, Buffon, Marmontel, Condorcet, Necker, and Turgot. The first seven volumes of the Encyclopédie were published in Paris under a royal privilege; when this was withdrawn in 1759 the printing continued clandestinely and the last ten volumes were issued under the false imprint of Samuel Faulche, Neuchâtel. Grolier / Horblit 25b; John Lough, Essays on the Encyclopédie (London 1968); PMM 200; Schwab, Rex and Lough, Inventory of Diderot's Encyclopédie, I (1971), VII (1984) [Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century 80, 223].
