A great little five-minute TED animation on the roots of the Encyclopédie – here. The Encyclopédie was one of the great intellectual achievements of the Enlightenment, its publication and production underway at a time when Casanova was living in Paris.
For a bit more of an investigation into the Encyclopédie and how it was organised, a very accessible fifteen-minute video can be viewed here.
‘Casanova in Paris: The Shadows of the King’ is freely available here.
Long form articles on Casanova’s life and times are freely available here.
