Very nice facsimile edition of the Encyclopédie de Diderot and D'Alembert given by the Italian publisher Franco Maria Ricci. The print was made on a very good quality laid paper. Here is the second volume of the second issue of the collection of plates from the 1763 edition at Briasson, comprising 203 plates announced. The Facsimile is preceded by an opinion from the editor and an introduction by Roland Barthes (these two texts in Italian).
