The Encyclopédie was a French general encyclopedia of the sciences and arts. It was edited by the Enlightenment philosopher Denis Diderot and for that reason was also known as Encyclopédie Diderot.[1] During the French Revolution, the Parisian Assassin Arno Dorian was tasked with recovering the book's section about secret societies to see if it would expose the Assassins' existence.[2]
