Everything Explained That Is Explainable
Author: Denis Boyles
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307389782
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
Everything Explained That Is Explainable is the audacious, utterly improbable story of the publication of the Eleventh Edition of the legendary Encyclopædia Britannica. It is the tale of a young American entrepreneur who rescued a dying publication with the help of a floundering newspaper, and in so doing produced a series of books that forever changed the face of publishing. Thanks to the efforts of 1,500 contributors, among them a young staff of university graduates as well as some of the most distinguished names of the day, the Eleventh Edition combined scholarship and readability in a way no previous encyclopedia had (or ever has again). Denis Boyles’s work of cultural history pulls back the curtain on the 44-million-word testament to the age of reason that has profoundly shaped the way we see the world.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 23
Author: William Harrison De Puy

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1034
Book Description
Excerpt from The Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 23: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and General Literature All these histories are more or less thrown into the shade by the great work of Tabarl, whose fame has never faded from his own day to ours, and who well deserves to have this article on early Arabic histories placed under his name. Abli Ja'far Mohammed b. J arir at-tabari (so his full name runs) is described as a tall lean figure, with large eyes, brown complexion, and hair which remained black till his death. His learning was astounding and few could speak so well. Born 224 A41. (838-9 a.d.) at Amol in Tabaristitn, he came to Baghdad as a young man and heard there the most famous teachers of the age. He travelled through Syria and Egypt (where he was in and finally settled down in Baghdad-where he remained till his death in 310 (923 so); always active and surrounded by pupils. He is said to have written forty pages daily for forty years. This no doubt is an exaggeration, but certainly he must have been a man of most persistent industry. His two chief works are a great Commentary on the Koran and his Annals. There is an anecdote to the effect that each originally filled leaves, but that his pupils found them too extensive to be written to his dictation, and that he then resolved to condense them to a tenth of their original size, exclaiming, God help usl Ambition is extinct. One cannot say how far this story is true, but it is probable enough that his materials, at least for the Annals, were many times greater than the book itself.
