Straordinaria opera illuminista dell’Encyclopédie di Diderot e D’Alembert in 33 volumi, costituita da più di 3.000 grandi tavole, compendio universale del sapere, nonché primo esempio di moderna enciclopedia di larga diffusione e successo, cui guarderanno e si ispireranno nella struttura quelle successive. Quest’opera edita a Livorno, fu realizzata grazie a Giuseppe Aubert, tipografo ed editore di origine francese attivo in questa città a partire dal 1760 circa e in stretta corrispondenza con rinomati illuministi del tempo tra cui Cesare Beccaria. Nonostante le iniziali difficoltà (l’Encyclopédie era molto osteggiata dalla Chiesa), Aubert trovò patrocinatori con cui costituire una società editoriale, chiese sottoscrizioni in Italia e all’estero e coinvolse Pietro Leopoldo I di Toscana, illuminato Granduca dal 1765 al 1790, che finanziò in parte l’impresa e accettò che l’opera venisse a lui dedicata.

Extraordinary Enlightenment work in 33 volumes of Diderot and D'Alembert's Encyclopédie, made up of more than 3,000 large plates, a universal compendium of knowledge, as well as the first example of a modern encyclopedia of wide diffusion and success, which subsequent ones will look at and draw inspiration from in their structure. This work published in Livorno was created thanks to Giuseppe Aubert, a typographer and publisher of French origin active in this city starting from around 1760 and in close correspondence with renowned Enlightenment scholars of the time including Cesare Beccaria. Despite the initial difficulties (the Encyclopédie was much opposed by the Church), Aubert found patrons with whom to set up a publishing company, asked for subscriptions in Italy and abroad and involved Peter Leopold I of Tuscany, enlightened Grand Duke from 1765 to 1790, who financed part of the undertaking and accepted that the work should be dedicated to him.
