We discuss the question of the existence of the smallest size of a family of Banach spaces of a given density which embeds all Banach spaces of that same density. We shall consider two kinds of embeddings, isometric and isomorphic. This type of question is well studied in the context of separable spaces, for example a classical result by Banach states that C([0,1]) embeds all separable Banach spaces. However, the nonseparable case involves a lot of set theory and the answer is independent of ZFC.
