Recenzje

'There is nothing even remotely as good ... this is of immense usefulness for an individual or a library.' - CHOICE

'Its extent and arrangement, from the introduction through the pages of bibliography, the encyclopaedia proper with its illustrations of portraits, busts and geometrical and astronomical diagrams, to the copious classifications, indexes and finding aids, point to much painstaking labour and careful planning. This is ... a work of immense scholarship.' - Reference Reviews
