Encyclopediae seu orbis disciplinarum tam sacrarum quam profanarum epistemon is an early encyclopedia written in Latin by Zagreb born philosopher Paul Skalic. It was first published in Basel in 1559 [1] and reprinted in Koln, Germany in 1571. It was arguably the first to use the term encyclopedia in the current sense. However, this has been disputed by Robert Collison who later reported that the work was poorly written, and that Joachim Sterck van Ringelbergh had used the word "cyclopaedia" to describe his work in 1541.
