Allgemeine Encyclopädie der Wissenschaften und Künste

The Allgemeine Encyclopädie der Wissenschaften und Künste ("Universal Encyclopaedia of Sciences and Arts") was a German encyclopaedia published by Johann Samuel Ersch and Johann Gottfried Gruber, therefore also known as the "Ersch-Gruber." One of the most ambitious encyclopaedia projects ever, it was started in 1818 and by 1889 had progressed to the letter P and had reached 167 volumes when it was abandoned. The article about Greece alone covered 3,668 pages, spanning eight volumes.
