This set of plates was published in 1788. This encyclopedia is one of the most extensive of all encyclopaedias ever produced. The Encyclopйdie mйthodique, known as the "Panckoucke Encyclopaedia", is a monumental encyclopedia based on the Encyclopedia or Dictionaries of Sciences, Arts and Crafts of Diderot and Alembert with the objective of improving and completing it. Unlike the latter, it is divided into subjects spread over 40 scientific dictionaries. The aim was to remedy the excessive fractionation of Diderot's work, which obliged him to read a hundred articles in order to have a sufficient idea of ​​a subject. We wanted to try if, by proceeding differently, the analysis and the synthesis would not lead to a better conciliation. It was launched by subscriptions in 1782 by the bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, established in Lille then in Paris, where he had managed to create the first journalistic empire of the time. The bookseller and publisher, Clement Plomteux, established at Liege, seconded him between 1782 and 1789. The publication lasted for half a century, and ended in 1832. After the death of Charles-Joseph Panckoucke in 1798, the publication was carried out by his son-in-law and partner, Henri Agasse (1752-1813), then by his Antoinette-Pauline Agasse daughter, widow of the latter. This enterprise, which was attended by several hundred authors, resulted in a set of 206 volumes (159 of text on two columns and 47 of plates), comprising more than 125,000 pages and nearly 4,500 engravings, The complete title is: The Methodical Encyclopedia or by order of subjects by a society of literary people, scholars and artists; preceded by a universal Vocabulary, serving as a table for the whole work, adorned with portraits of MM. Diderot and d'Alembert, first editors of the Encyclopedia. The impact of this encyclopedia was enormous. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Benard' after an anonymous artist. Charles-Joseph Panckoucke (1736-1798) was a French writer and publisher, notable for the Encyclopй;die Mй;thodique.

Publication Date: 1788 (update) ? Sheet size: approx. 31.5 x 23.5 cm (12 1/2" x 9 1/2") This attractive ichthyological print originates from "Tableau Encyclopedique et Methodique des Trois Regnes de la Nature", the volume on Ichtchyologie. This massive work was made by l'Abbe Pierre Joseph Bonnaterre, and published in Paris by Panckoucke in 1788. Abbe Pierre Joseph Bonnaterre (1752-1804) was a French naturalist, a priest in the Rouergue, and a professor at the school of Rhodes. The publisher Panckouke employed him to contribute to this work, the “Tableau encyclopedique et methodique des trios regnes de la nature..., which was the largest encyclopedia of the enlightenment. It covered all aspects of the natural world, in the comprehensive mode that was very much the driving force of the era. Bonnaterre worked on the Natural History part of the encyclopedia in the areas of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and insects. He composed extensive text for the part on fish, and collected drawings from Bloch, Gronovius, Broussonet, Pennant and others, of more than 400 species. The Tableau encyclopйdique et mйthodique des trois regnes de la nature was an illustrated encyclopedia of plants, animals and minerals, notable for including the first scientific descriptions of many species, and for its attractive engravings. It was published in Paris by Charles Joseph Panckoucke, from 1788 on. Although its several volumes can be considered a part of the greater Encyclopйdie mйthodique, they were titled and issued separately. front page Contributors: - Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (plants, taxonomy) - Pierre Joseph Bonnaterre (cetaceans, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects) - Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot (birds, second volume) - Jean Guillaume Bruguiиre (invertebrates) Charles-Joseph Panckoucke (1736-1798) was a French writer and publisher, notable for the Encyclopй;die Mй;thodique.
