What do you know about the history of encyclopaedias
Think
Focusing on culture
Encyclopaedias provide all kinds of information. When were the first encyclopaedias made
Let's explore the history of encyclopaedias to learn more.
The word “encyclopaedia” comes from a Greek word that means “general
education”. We use encyclopaedias to find information about different
subjects. Nowadays, most people use encyclopaedias online, but some still
prefer to use paper encyclopaedias. They often come in several volumes.
China has a long history of creating encyclopaedias. One of the first
encyclopacdias was the Huanglan (《皇览》）(i.e. the Imperial Anthology). It was created around 220 CE. Another important encyclopaedia was the Yongle Dadian (i.e. the Yongle Encyclopaedia). The
Yongle Dadian was completed in 1408 and had
over 11,000 volumes. It is probably the largest
encyclopaedia in history. Both the Huanglan
and Yongle Dadian included important pieces
of writing. These entries covered subjects like history, art and science.
Read the article about encyclopaedias and find out how they developed in different parts of the world.
Encyclopaedias in other parts of the world also go back a long way in history. The earliest known encyclopaedias in Europe were written by the Greeks in the 4th century BCE. They were similar to early Chinese encyclopacdias because they included works by different scholars. Centuries later, the editors of the first modern encyclopaedias, like the Encyclopaedia Britannica, organized the entries in alphabetical order. People could use the first letter of a word to find a subject quickly and easily.
Encyclopaedias have played an important role
through history in recording and providing
information. They are still a useful tool,
and they help us learn about the world that we live in.
