Deux versions de la même application

Au lieu de proposer une nouvelle version de l’application, on a deux versions de la même application. Les notes personnelles contenues dans l’une ne peuvent pas être transférées à la nouvelle version. Ce choix est incompréhensible.

Why no English?

It says English and French language, but nothing I search is in English.

Very fun to play around with for lay person

I hardly read French, but even so I can about muddle through with this. It’s presented just as you’d want it, as an extremely long single text, like a book. You can sort according to author, theme, or volume, or search for something specific. Wonderful and very fun to tinker around with even for the lay person (me). Thank you U. Chicago!

This is a treasure!

This is a great template for bringing classics to the modern reader. If others have come before, I must find them. I certainly look forward to more to follow.

Remarkable!

The complete text of one of the greatest Enlightenment texts — Diderot and D'Alembert's Encyclopédia — available, gratis, in a gorgeous edition that, instead of consuming an entire bookshelf, fits neatly on an iPad. Even those who do not read French can marvel at the engravings, which set the standard for the eighteenth-century. Since Diderot (along with Pierre Bayle) was one of the handful of eighteenth-century thinkers who appreciated what hyperlinks make possible, the University of Chicago's iPad edition of this work is a wonderful homage to a marvelous thinker.
