Paris: Lapina, 1922. Handsomely bound limited edition of this philosophical novel by the Enlightenment-era Encyclopedist — signed by Hémard and with his striking illustrations hand-colored in pochoir. Fine. Item #55897 Diderot's posthumously published novel has been described as a link in the chain of quixotic classics like those of Cervantes and Rabelais, and it owes much to Sterne's TRISTRAM SHANDY
