An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work or compendium of information covering various topics or branches of knowledge. It typically provides detailed information on subjects such as history, science, literature, and more, often organized alphabetically. Encyclopedias can be general or specialized, and are valuable resources for gaining knowledge and understanding about a wide range of subjects.
