Institution Des Sourds Et Muets, Par La Voie Des Signes Méthodiques, Volume 1, by Charles-Michel de L'Épée, is a seminal work in the history of deaf education. Originally published in French, this treatise details L'Épée's pioneering methods for teaching deaf individuals through a system of methodical signs. This volume outlines the principles behind his approach and proposes a universal language based on natural signs, meticulously organized for effective communication and instruction.
L'Épée's work represents a significant advancement in the understanding and treatment of deafness during the 18th century. His dedication to developing a structured sign language not only provided educational opportunities for the deaf but also laid the groundwork for modern sign language systems. This historical text offers invaluable insights into the evolution of deaf education and the development of linguistic tools that empower communication for all.
