Beschreibung
This volume is a broad exploration of the authorship and editorial practices behind the Encyclopédie of Diderot and D’Alembert, a monumental work of the Enlightenment.
It explores the intricate history of its creation, the identification of anonymous contributors, and the revolutionary impact of digital resources on scholarly research. The pioneering efforts of J. Lough, J. Proust, and R. N. Schwab laid the groundwork for uncovering the authorship of numerous unsigned articles. Recent studies, particularly those conducted by the ENCCRE project, have significantly expanded our understanding, identifying thousands of previously anonymous articles. This book provides an overview of these discoveries, the methodologies employed, and the renewed understanding of the Encyclopédie’s editorial history and contributions.
This work is ideal for academics, historians, and anyone interested in the Enlightenment and the evolution of encyclopedic knowledge.
