Jacques le Fataliste first appeared in serial form in Grimm's Correspondance littéraire, between 1778 and 1780, and was subsequently published in German in 1785 and 1792.
Diderot's original text was not published until 1797, on a manuscript copy probably from Grimm's library, and went through several editions the same year (Tchemerzine II, 965).
