The Eneyelopedia (msasklepi:dia) Britannica [bettenske] (Latin for British Encyclopedin) is a general knowledge English-language encyclopedia. It is one of the most famous publications of its kind and one of the oldest as well. It was first published in three volumes ['volju:mz] or books between 1768 and 1771 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Since that time the enyclopedia has become much larger. First it included ten, then twenty and finally thirty-two volumes. The 32 volume publication was the last printed one. It came out in 2010.

Now the publishers are focusing on its electronic form called Engrelopedia Bri-Lannica Online, The modern publications include about 40 million words on half a million subjects. Alot of libraries were and still are proud to have the Britannica. Throughout history, this encyclopedia has been giving its readers first-class educational material in every field of human knowledge.

The earliest Britannica was published by its founders Andrew Bell, Archibald Constable and some others. Since that time the number of authors and contrib-utors has grown dramatically and these days thousands of people wrise new ar-ticles and update' old ones. The contributors often come from other countries and include the world's most respected experta ['eksps:ts]. Till nowadays the reputation of Britannica has been unquestionable.

Some people have devoted themselves to reading the whole Britannica, taking from three to 22 years to do so. When Fat'h All became the Shah of Persia in 1797, he was given the Britannica, which he read completely. After that he added to his royal title the following words: "Most Formidable" Lord and Master of the Eneyelopedia Britannica".

Writer George Bernard Show read nearly the whole of it (he was not interested in the science articles). Richard Byrd took the Britannic e as reading material for his five-month stay at the South Pole in 1934, while Philip Beaver read it during a sailing expedition.
