+The idea of an [[Encyclopaedia]] is over 2000 years old, and has gone through numerous transformations and adaptations over the ages.
-Also known as a [[Cyclopedia]], [[Cyclopaedia]] and [[Cyclopedien]] in older times, and at times referred to as a [[Dictionary]] as well, the term has all along referred to an attempt to summarise/condence and publishe information on various subjects (or, in some more grandiose incarnations, all knowledge about everything).
+Also found written as [[Encyclopædia]] in older versions and as  [[Encyclopedia]] (e.g. in American English). Other versions of the term include the archaic [[Cyclopedia]], [[Cyclopaedia]] and [[Cyclopedien]]. At times referred to as a [[Dictionary]] as well, the term has all along referred to an attempt to summarise/condence and published information on various subjects (or, in some more grandiose incarnations, all knowledge about everything).
 As a general definition of the way the term is '''specifically''' used in [[ESAT]], it is perhaps fruitful to consider teacher/librarian Ann Sartori's wonderfully succinct introductory outline in the lesson on "Encyclopedia Definition, History & Examples" on the '''Study.com''' website (updated on 02/03/2023)[https://study.com/academy/lesson/encyclopedia-history-examples-facts.html]:

 "''Encyclopedias are research tools that collect background information on a variety of topics. In short entries on each topic, the encyclopedia covers enough basic information for the reader to get a sense of the scope and breadth of the topic. The entries in encyclopedias, especially online encyclopedias, often include citations for further research: such as to websites or articles and books on the topic. These can be helpful as a guide for conducting further, more in-depth research.''"
