Plate 4 is a double plate.1 page 659 from volume VIII of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Les Romains11 pages 78 79 & 741-750 from volume X of the Encyclopédie 1765 including information on Compartimens de pavés en marbre and Mosaïque en général.1 page 193 from volume XII of the Encyclopédie 1765 including L'usage des pavés en mosaïque à Rome.1 page 353 from volume III of the Supplément à l'Encyclopédie 1777 which includes Mosaïque de Herculanum.Included with these plates are several relevant entries on Mosaics including the main ten-page article by Chevalier Louis de Jaucourt. The article primarily concerns the role of mosaics in Christendom philosophy and also their manufacture. Despite focusing largely on the sciences Jaucourt has been regarded as an important philosopher as well. The article for mosaics is therefore a good example of this polymath's varied interest and specialties. The 5 plates largely concern the workmanship of this art and the atelier itself. 8 mosaic patterns are also reproduced including Europe Raised by Jupiter Neptune and his Trident and a Barge on the Nile. There is one double plate depicting the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina with various useful annotations. Thought to be the earliest Roman depiction of Nilotic scenes close examination suggests that it was produced in the reign of Sulla ca. 100 B.C. It is important for a number of reasons and could possibly be one of the mosaics referred to by Pliny in his Naturalis Historiœ. Having remained in the Barberini family since the 17th-century the mosaic can now be found in the Museu Nazionale Prenestino. unknown books
