An encyclopedia (American English) or encyclopaedia (British English) [1] (from Greek ἐγκύκλιος παιδεία meaning 'general education') [2] is a reference work or compendium providing summaries of knowledge, either general or special, in a particular field or discipline.
In its first years, the Britannica 's main competitor was the general encyclopaedia of Ephraim Chambers and, soon thereafter, Rees's Cyclopædia and Coleridge's Encyclopædia Metropolitana. In the 20th century, successful competitors included Collier's Encyclopedia, the Encyclopedia Americana, and the World Book Encyclopedia.
