First Edition
Hardcover. First Edition. A complete 28-volume set of the true first edition of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert's Encyclopedie, comprised of 17 volumes of text and 11 volumes of plates. The text volumes were published between 1751 and 1765, the first seven listing Paris as their place of publication, and the remaining 10 volumes (all released in 1765) stating "Neufchastel". The titlepages of the text volumes include accent marks. These accord with the standard points for a true first edition. All 2,885 of the original plates appear to be present. Some bibliographies count the double-, triple-, etc. plates as multiples (rendering a count of 3,129 plates). The figure "2,885" reflects the numbering of the encyclopedists themselves and represents the total of originally included plates (See Darnton, The Business of Enlightenment). All text volumes are double-columned. All 28 volumes are bound in contemporary tree-calf, with banded and gilt-ornamented spines, and brown leather spine labels with gilt lettering. The textblock edges of all volumes are dyed red. All volumes have marbled endpapers, and (unless otherwise indicated) cloth bookmarks. Shelved in Room C. Sold as is.
