1699 FAMOUS Louis Moreri
Historical Dictionary RARE Encyclopedia HUGE 4v SET
Originally published in 1674, Louis Moreri’s “Grand Dictionaire Historique” was an encyclopedia focused on
historical and biographical articles. The original French and English edition
were critical in giving rise to more other dictionaries, such as Pierre Bayle’s
“Critical Dictionary”. While this
work was highly influential during its time, it was eventually replaced
as the preeminent reference work when Diderot’s ‘Encyclopedia’ was printed.
This 1699 massive four-volume
edition was published in Paris by Denys Mariette.
