About This Item
VD16 S 6616; Collison, Encyclopaedias 79 f. - FIRST EDITION, and exceptionally rare, of the main scientific work of the Croatian humanist, polymath and adventurer Pavao Skalic (1534 - 1575), and at the same time the first work to include the term encyclopaedia in its current meaning. "Paul Scalich - also known as Paul Skalich, Paul Scaliger, Paulus Scalichius de Lika, and as Count Scalitzius - had a life that in its adventures and intrigue closely resembled that of Cellini and Casanova. His 'Encycloaedia' (Basle 1559) was a poor piece of compilation and is chiefly important nowadays for its successful introduction of the word 'Encyclopaedia'. Within the next hundred years the word encylopaedia came to be very generally accepted throughout Western Europe" (Collison). - Visit our website to see more images!
