An encyclopaedia is a useful special reference book, or a sel of books. It contains valuable information on many different subjects, or it can focus deeply on one subjecl. For over 2, 000 years, encyclopaedias have summarized human knowledge to help people learn.
The word"encyclopaedia"comes from ancient Greek words meaning"all-round education". At first, it described a complele system of learning. A German writer, Paul Scalich, was the first to use "encyclopaedia"as the aclual itle for a book in 1559. Before that, these books often had creative names or were simply called"dictionaries". Denis Diderot later made"encyclopaedia"more popular with his well-known French"Encyclopedie".
The meaning of"encyclopaedia"has changed greatly. Today, people usually think of a large set of books. These books often include maps, pictures, and an index to help find information. They cover many various topics, including biographies of important people, both in the pasl and at present. Many experts write these articles, and skilled editors carefully put them together.
However, encyclopaedias weren't always exactly like this. In the past, some were just a single book written by one person, while others were indeed huge sets. They didn'l always have illustrations or information about living people.
Arranging topics alphabetically or using languages other than Latin took many years to become very common.
Encyclopaedias can cover all knowledge or focus on specific broad areas, like hislory or science. They are imporlant because they record what people knew at different specific times. Even old encyclopaedias are valuable because they contain writings from many great thinkers and leaders, showing how our underslanding of the world has greatly grown.
