Pivati Gianfrancesco

Pivati's Nuovo dizionario is a bold contribution to Italian cultural debate in the middle of XVIII century. The wide, useful and interesting knowledge it contains is often taken from Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Spanish and English, as well as Italian. “ The subjects treated are well researched and generally presented in a simple, direct style (…) ”. Pivati’s liberal voice was out of the chorus in the context of the rigid conformity predominated troughout the Italian peninsula. “He appears to be committed to R eason and S cience as opposed to simple F aith, but he tries to avoid any direct challenge to the dogmatic teachings of the Church ”.

Pivati Gianfrancesco

Il Nuovo Dizionario di Pivati rappresenta un coraggioso contributo al dibattito culturale nell’Italia di metà Settecento. Il suo ricco e interessante studio sugli usi e costumi, sempre di ampio respiro e presentato in stile semplice, attinge al mondo ebraico, greco, latino, francese, spagnolo, inglese e italiano. La posizione liberale di Pivati è di sicuro fuori dal coro e si colloca in un contesto di rigido Conformismo predominante nella penisola italiana. “Sembra affidarsi alla ragione e alla scienza e opporsi alla semplice fede, ma allo stesso tempo cerca di evitare un’aperta sfida agli insegnamenti dogmatici della Chiesa”.

Ref: Silvano Garafalo, in: Frank Kafker, Notable Encyclopedias, Oxford 1981.
