The Encyclopedia of Yverdon (French: Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire universel raisonné des connaissances humaines) is an encyclopedia compiled by Fortunato Bartolomeo de Félice and published in 58 volumes from 1770 through 1780 in Yverdon-les-Baines, Switzerland. The Encyclopedia of Yverdon is not as culturally French nor as philosophically skeptical of religion as the work it is based upon, the Encyclopédie of Diderot and d'Alembert. Due to these differences, the Encyclopedia of Yverdon was known as the Protestant encyclopedia and was widely distributed across Northern Europe.




Principal contributors
