elcome to the May/June edition of Inside Magazine, the local magazine for Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill.

Our calendars are strewn with more and more reasons to bestow gifts, send cards, and dress up in silly masks (or is that just me?). This got me thinking on the whole culture of generosity.

There’s a bloke who works at our offices sometimes.

Let’s call him Eduardo (see, Jack, I said I’d keep your real name out of it).

He generally brings us in some form of chocolate – bars, sweets, fingers – except near Easter when he usually brings wine gums (he’s a bit of a rebel, but only a very little bit).

The problem with this strategy is that Eduardo (don’t worry, Jack) is condemned for eternity, like Sisyphus, to perform this task. For what if he should one day lapse?

The office would be in uproar, each of us wondering how we had upset Eddy. And the moral of this tale is to abandon all generosity, whatever the season, and look solely after number one. Learn from the past, plan for the future, forget about the presents.

ENCYCLOPAEDIAS or Facts, Phones and Fat Bloke Down the Pub STORY: DAVID YOUNG

M

any, many years ago, when I was a slightly more considerate person, I used to meet my wife at the station. Looking back to that pre-mobile era, we often wonder how I knew which train she’d caught. Similarly, the other day, this bloke came up to me and asked me (yet again) the average rainfall in Quito in February. I quickly replied “100mm, roughly, just as it was the last time you asked, and who are you anyway?”

Straight away, I wondered how I would have answered such a question before we started using that internet. (Then I wondered who this bloke was anyway, with his obsessive interest in Ecuadorian rain.)

SPECULUM MAJUS 8

042_IM_CBH_PUB_MAYJUN2... page 8

ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA Well, if one casts one’s mind back to the last century, one may recall things called Encyclopaedias. These were (and again I beseech you to think back) books, big big books if they were encyclopaedic. And, if they were the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, the Daddy of them all, they were many many big big books. And you could find anything in them if you know where to look, including matters climatic in Ecuador. It just took, like, forever, as you probably had to go to a library (think back – these were public buildings with books in).

These days, most of us carry a phone in our pockets which gives instant access to encyclopedic knowledge on a scale and at a speed that could never have been imagined forty years ago. We google everything. Without google (other search engines are available) we would have to revert to the books in the library. Now, computers fit in a trouser pocket. Not the giant computer that was the size of a planet in 1975 and which calculated payroll wrongly. Tiny things that know everything. A bit like an annoying bloke whom I know.

But what was the first encyclopaedia, and why, and how did it get its odd name?

The last question first, then, and we can blame copyists working on a Greek word in a Latin translation in 1470. I frequently blame these

Inside Magazine, Chigwell & Buckhurst Hill

May & June 2018

people for much else besides, like roadworks on the M25, but this may be unreasonable. One day, they were copying and translating, as was their wont, when they accidentally forgot to put a space between the words for ‘general’ and ‘learning’. Typical. They’re always doing this sort of thing. But they threw up the wrongly conjoined word ‘encyclopaedia’ and so the new word was born.

It is debatable when the first encyclopaedia appeared. One of the earliest, however, would be the Natural History of Pliny, written in 79AD. It sought to put together the learning in many fields, including architecture and medicine, and Pliny claimed to have amassed 20,000 facts.

That’s a lot of pub quiz fodder. He famously died in the eruption of Vesuvius, and never finished the work. We’ll never know Fact 20,001.

The 13th century saw a lot of encyclopaedias being compiled. In 1260, Vincent of Beauvais put together his Speculum Majus, which sounds like a torture instrument but actually translates as Big Mirror. It contained 3 million words. Loads of facts. It took him 29 years to assemble, but, as a Domenican Friar in the 13th century, he probably didn’t have online shopping to distract him.

One of the first to use the familiar alphabetic organisation of entries was the 1704 Lexicon Technicum of John Harris. Similar to a dictionary, it expanded on the basic definition to give broad background information.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica first appeared around 1770, in only 3 volumes, which rapidly expanded into the big collection that can still be found in libraries, if libraries can be found.

When computers began to rule the world, Microsoft published a CD encyclopaedia called Encarta, which they discontinued in 2009. By then, it had 62,000 articles. It was losing out to its new online rival, Wikipedia, which, by the same time, had over 3 million articles. It’s getting on for 6 million now. It’s fairly easy to contribute to or edit an article, but this can lead to inaccuracy.

Once, wayward youth scribbled nonsense in reference sections in libraries (oh, my crazy childhood). Now, likewise, the internet is susceptible to the odd bit of misinformation. Did you know, for example, that David Beckham was a Chinese goalkeeper in the 18th century? Or that famous actor, Gary Oldman, is in fact a giraffe? These were genuine entries in Wikipedia.

These days the world thinks to itself “It’s on the May & June 2018

internet so it must be true.” This is the modern equivalent of the philosophy “Fat bloke down the pub said so.”

This column is available online. So it must be true.
