Dictionnaire Philosophique Portatif

17641322Londres 1764. 8vo.Â 190 x 120 mm. 7 Â½ x 4 Â½ inches.Â viii 344 1 pp.Â Â Â Bound with half-title in contemporary Dutch decorated paper boards vellum spine and corner tips.Â Frontispiece portrait of Hugo Grotius dated 1790 probably added when bound.Â Some contemporary manuscript notes in the text and on the rear free endpaper.Â Very nice copy. First edition.Â Voltaireâ€™s Philosophical Dictionary organized alphabetically and containing his thoughts on European society beginning with a short essay on Abraham and a critique of the stories of the Bible.Â Voltaireâ€™s Dictionnaire ends with the topic of Virtue where referring to theologians in the Catholic Church his final words are a petition to God. Â In his most sarcastic way he completes his book with the sentence â€œMon Dieu donnez nous souvent de pareils fripons!â€ My God give us often such rogues as these!.Â Voltaire had this work published in Geneva by Gabriel Grasset who to keep the authors identity secret created a false imprint stating London as the place of printing.Â Included are 73 essays on subjects ranging from Baptism to Character Equality Fables History Liberty Religion Solomon and Tyranny to name a few.Â â€œVoltaire sought to create a text which would fit in one's pocket and be affordable because "revolutionary material must be small enough for people to carry with them". What he created is a text which educated and amused at the same time.â€Â As you can see by the subjects of Voltaireâ€™s essays the Catholic Church was the target of much of his rhetoric.Â He wanted to expose the hypocrisy of the Church and at the same time advocate for a more rational God one who allowed for free will and self-examination as a major tenant of his philosophy. There are numerous edition of Voltaireâ€™s Dictionnaire Philosophique but the first is scarce in the market.Â This is a nice copy in a sound and not unattractive copy.

Quartos 25 x 19.5 cm. Bound in handsome catspaw calf. All edges red. Good bindings and covers. Clean unmarked pages. Includes Vol. 1-36 of the Encyclopedie important note: lacks 3 text volumes 23 30 31; Vol. 37-38: Recueil de planches pour la nouvelle edition du dictionnaire raisonne des sciences des arts et des metiers; lacks the final plate volume v.39 Vol. 40-45 Table Analytique Et Raisonnee Des Matieres. Diderot's famous Encyclopedie was initially a modest translation of Chambers's Cyclopaedia. It grew as a project into a massive project which attempted to collect human knowledge from a rationalistic perspective instead of by nature or theology. In organizing knowledge from a position where human reason was paramount the supremacy of the Church was imperiled. As a result the Encyclopedie was widely controversial and placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum by the Catholic Church. In discussing fundamental philosophical issues such as on political authority and natural rights articles in the Encyclopedie shifted the basis of governmental authority from the divine right of Kings to radical concepts popular consent was the basis of legitimacy and the ideals of a social contract. The work was banned by the King of France. It spread the foundational ideas of the French Revolution and enlightenment thinkers. "No encyclopaedia perhaps has been of such political importance or has occupied so conspicuous a place in the civil and literary history of its century. It sought not only to give information but to guide opinion." "It was a war machine; as it progressed its attacks on both the church and still more on despotic government as well as Christianity itself became bolder and more undistinguished and it was met with persecution and opposition unparalleled in the the history of encyclopedias." - Encyclopedia Britannica 11th ed p. 1483.
