"The Art of Coopering from the Encyclopaedia by Denis Diderot 1713-84" is a detailed treatise on the craft and techniques of barrel making, known as coopering, which was included in the seminal "Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers" edited by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert. The Encyclopédie is one of the most influential works of the Enlightenment, aiming to gather and disseminate the breadth of human knowledge up to that time. The section on coopering, authored by J.R. Lucotte, provides an in-depth look at the tools, materials, and processes involved in creating barrels, casks, and other staved vessels, which were essential for the storage and transportation of goods in the 18th century.

Lucotte's contribution to the Encyclopédie is notable for its detailed illustrations and descriptions, which not only offer insight into the technical aspects of coopering but also reflect the broader Enlightenment values of sharing practical, empirical knowledge to improve industry and commerce. The work is a valuable historical document that captures the state of a traditional craft at a time when industrial methods were beginning to transform manufacturing processes. It serves as both a practical guide for those interested in the historical methods of cooperage and a scholarly resource for understanding the dissemination of technical knowledge during the Enlightenment.
