In this groundbreaking study, Linn Holmberg provides
new perspectives on the Enlightenment ‘dictionary wars’
and offers a fascinating insight into the intellectual
reorientation of a monastic community in the Age of
Reason.
In mid-eighteenth-century Paris, two Benedictine
monks from the Congregation of Saint-Maur - also
known as the Maurists - began working on a universal
dictionary of arts, crafts, and sciences. At the same time,
Diderot and D’Alembert started to compile the famous
Encyclopédie, The Benedictines, however, never finished
or published their work and the manuscripts were left,
forgotten, in the monastery archive. In the first study
devoted to the Maurists’ unfinished encyclopedia,
Holmberg explores the project’s origins, development,
and abandonment and sheds new light on the
intellectual activities of its creators, the emergence of the
encyclopedic dictionary in France, and the Encyclopédie
of Diderot and D’Alembert.
Linn Holmberg is a historian
of science and ideas at
Stockholm University. Her
main areas of research
are Enlightenment
encyclopedism and
early-modern knowledge
practices.
Holmberg adopts a multidisciplinary approach to
the challenges of studying a hitherto unexplored
and incomplete manuscript. By using codicology and
handwriting analysis, the author reconstructs the
drafts’ order of production, estimates the number of
compilers and the nature of their work, and detects
comprehensive editorial interferences made by
nineteenth-century conservators at the Bibliothèque
nationale de France. Holmberg’s meticulous work
proves, with textual evidence, the Maurist dictionary’s
origins as an augmented translation of a mathematical
dictionary by Christian Wolff. Through comparing the
Maurists’ manuscripts to the Encyclopédie and the Jesuits’
Dictionnaire de Trévoux, the author highlights striking
similarities between the Benedictine project and that
of Diderot and D’Alembert, showing that the philosophes
were neither first with their encyclopedic innovations,
nor alone in their secular Enlightenment endeavours.
