The entries “Copying, Imitation and Invention”, by Antoine Chrysostome Quatremère de Quincy, published in Dictionaire Historique d’Architecture
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.
