The Encyclopedia, the Dictionary of Universal Human Knowledge, or Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire universel raisonné des connaissances humaines, was an Encyclopedia compiled by Fortunato Bartolomeo de Félice, 2nd Count di Panzutti, published between 1770 and 1780 in Yverdon. Increasingly anti-religious, in comparison to that of Diderot and d'Alembert on which it was based, this difference earned him the alternative title Protestant Encyclopedia, and ensured a strong distinction in Northern Europe.
Fortunato de Félice, was a scholar of Italian origin. In 1759, he settled in Yverdon-sur-les-Bains, Switzerland, and created a network of over thirty collaborator; fifteen Swiss, twelve French, three Germans, an Italian, and an Irishman, most of whom have been identified below:
