| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study establishes a basic revising methodology for the text of Diderot-Dalembert's Encyclopedia. In this study, we have taken up a series of books, mainly in France and England, that were contemporaneous with the study of the source. We discussed the text formation theory based on critical theory to determine specific materials used in the Encyclopedia. This study is a critical study of the text, including its actual state, the history of authorship, the history of epistolary transmission, and the history of editing, not sufficiently elucidated until now. By connecting the issues of textual criticism with the historical issues inherent in the enclosing eighteenth century, we have established the theory of textual criticism of the Encyclopedia was re-localized within a historical horizon that surpassed the theory of literary criticism.
