3.1. The Encyclopedia Project and Its Editors
In the next three videos, we will present you the conditions under which the Encyclopaedia was published. First, we will focus on the three publishers of the book: Diderot, D’Alembert and Jaucourt. Then, we will see that the publication of the Encyclopaedia, in Catholic France of the Ancient Regime, was not a long quiet river, quite the contrary! Finally, we will focus on a very important dimension of this publication: the fact that it is a collective work.
