The ''Brockhaus Enzyklopädie'' is a German-language encyclopedia which until 2009 was published by the F. A. Brockhaus printing house. The first edition originated in the ''Conversations-Lexikon'' published by Löbel and Franke in Leipzig 1796–1808. Renamed ''Der Große Brockhaus'' in 1928 and ''Brockhaus Enzyklopädie'' from 1966, the 21st thirty-volume edition contains about 300,000 entries on 24,000 pages, with about 40,000 maps, graphics and tables. It is the largest German-language printed encyclopedia in the 21st century. In February 2008 F. A. Brockhaus announced the changeover to an online encyclopedia and the discontinuation of the printed editions. The rights to the ''Brockhaus'' trademark were purchased by Arvato services, a subsidiary of the Bertelsmann media group. After more than 200 years, the distribution of the Brockhaus encyclopedia ceased completely in 2014. ==History== Paralleling other 18th century encyclopedias, the scope of the original ''Conversations-Lexikon'' was expanded beyond that of earlier publications, in an effort to become comprehensive. Published by the Leipzig scholars Renatus Gotthelf Löbel (1767–1799) and Christian Wilhelm Franke (1765–1831) from 1796 onwards, it included geography, history, and in part biography, as well as the more typical mythology, philosophy, natural history, and so on. Upon Löbel's death in 1799 Franke sold the rights to publication, which at the Leipzig Book Fair on 25 October 1808 were bought by Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus (1772–1823), for the price of 1,800 thalers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brockhaus Enzyklopädie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
