Well, for your enjoyment, please find in the joint attachment a copy of the page 100 of "Les Liaisons dangereuses ..." published by Durand neveu in Amsterdam and Paris in
1782. This document can be downloaded at the "Bibliothèque Nationale de France". You can see that hyphenation was already applied (three times on this page).

indul-gence
ou-blier
It would probably be possible to find an earlier example. But I think this one will be enough.
Congratulations to Amazon for catching the trend...
