Recent decades have seen many rediscoveries of works that were popular in their own time, or highly regarded, or sometimes both, but that fell by the wayside at some point and had been largely forgotten.Novels such as Lettres d'une Péruvienne by Françoise de Graffigny and Ourika by Claire de Duras are outstanding examples in the category of fiction.In a very different genre, but sharing the characteristic of renown followed by eclipse followed by rediscovery, is the Encyclopédie méthodique.This encyclopedia was an important feature of the intellectual landscape of Europe for many years, was superseded and lost from sight soon after its completion in 1832, and has gradually re-emerged on the scholarly scene in recent years.Numerous articles on various components of the Méthodique have been published, including the extensive collection edited by Claude Blanckaert and Michel Porret, L'Encyclopédie méthodique (2006).In her Savoir et Matières (2011), Martine Groult has examined the differences between the conceptual bases of the Encyclopédie project and the later Méthodique.Briefly, the Encyclopédie collected knowledge and organized it around the functions of the human mind; the Méthodique focused on individual sciences and their particular vocabularies, and was aimed at instructing a wide public and promoting advances in all disciplines. 1A research group, the Atelier Panckoucke Encyclopédie méthodique (APEM), directed by Groult and Luigi Delia, has been organized under the auspices of the CNRS (Centre Jean Pépin) to study this massive encyclopedia.Two collections of selected articles from two dictionaries of the Méthodique have been published, with more planned. 2
