Abstract

In France, the great project of systematization of knowledge, initiated by Diderot and d'Alambert in Encyclopédie or Dictionnaire Raisonné des Sciences, des Arts et Métiers (1751-1772), in which Jacques-François Blondel (1705 - 1774) composed articles referring to Architecture, continued in successive encyclopedic projects in the second
mid-18th century and throughout the 19th century. One such project is the Encyclopédie Méthodique by Charles-Joseph Panckoucke1, in which, in 1788, Quatremère de Quincy2 was commissioned to organize the Dictionnaire d’Architecture.
