Any background info regarding the piece on page 145 of the Saizenay manuscript, entitled "L'enciclopedie Allemande de Du But"? I'm wondering which encyclopedia might be being referred to. My basic search with Google failed to bring up a French encyclopedia before D'Alembert. The closest I can find is a popular science book which became very popular in France, mid century: Pseudodoxia Epidemica by Thomas Browne, first published in English, and which refers to itself as an encyclopedia. But that might be way off target.
Any ideas? Rob www.robmackillop.net To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
