Abstract
This article tackles with the economic content of the Spanish encyclopaedic literature of the 18th Century. After having analysed the genealogy of the dictionaries of commerce of the European Enlightenment, the paper studies the Spanish projects, as well as the economic content of the Spanish encyclopaedic literature of the Eighteen Century. The works analysed gather the translations of foreign works, but mainly the Spanish original compilations that embraced encyclopaedias, specialized dictionaries on political economy or commerce and other dictionaries on topics linked to economics, like agriculture, arts and crafts, geography or public finance. Lexicographical dictionaries, in particular those that defined the terms related to arts and crafts, have been also studied.
