Abstract
Reproduction of the first Italian edition (Milan, Galeazzi, 1786) of the Eulogy of Mr. d'Alembert of the Milanese mathematician and astronomer Paolo Frisi (1728-1784), who studied and trained on the scientific writings of the co-director of the Encyclopedie, with whom entertained a dense correspondence that testifies to their custom and their friendship, sealed in several Parisian meetings. In the Eulogy, warmly composed shortly after hearing the news of d'Alembert's death (29 October 1783), the Milanese enlightenment reconstructs minutely and with extreme precision the succession of the works and publications of the great encyclopedist, placing it in the history of the revolution scientific after Galileo and Newton, and formulating sober and balanced judgments also on dalembertian philosophical and literary writings, such as the Discours preliminaire (1751), the Essai sur la societe des gens de lettres et des grands (1753), the Analyse de l 'Esprit des lois (1755) and Sur la destruction des jesuites en France (1765).
