(April 2012) Micropdia volumes The 12-volume Micropdia is one of the three parts of the 15th edition of Encyclopd ia Britannica, the other two being the one-volume Propdia and the 17-volume Macro pdia. The name Micropdia is a neologism coined by Mortimer J. Adler from the ancie nt Greek words for "small" and "instruction"; the best English translation is pe rhaps "brief lessons". The Micropdia was introduced in 1974 with 10 volumes having 102,214 short article s, all of which were strictly fewer than 750 words. This limit was relaxed in th e major re-organization of the 15th edition; many articles were condensed togeth er, resulting in roughly 65,000 articles in 12 volumes. In general, the 750-word limit is still respected and most articles are only 1-2 paragraphs; however, a few longer articles can be found in the 2007 Micropdia, such as the Internet entr y, which takes up a full page. With rare exceptions (<3%), the ~65,000 articles of the Micropdia have no bibliog raphies and no named contributors. The Micropdia is intended primarily for quick fact-checking and as a guide to the 700 longer articles of the Macropdia,[1] whic h do have identified authors and bibliographies.
