Encyclopédie, L', a dictionary of universal knowledge published 1751–76 in 35 vols under the editorship of
Diderot, with (until 1758) D'Alembert as his chief assistant, and with the leading intellectuals of the age, including
Voltaire, Montesquieu,
Rousseau, Buffon, and Turgot, as contributors. It can be regarded as the most representative monument of the
Enlightenment. Its attack on superstition and credulity attracted the hostility of church and state.
