Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first successful encyclopedia was published by Ephraim Chambers in 1728, titled "Cyclopaedia, or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences." While Denis Diderot and Jean d'Alembert later published the famous "Encyclopédie," Chambers' work paved the way for the modern encyclopedia with its systematic approach to knowledge and organization of information. Chevalier Ramsay and Voltaire were not particularly known for their contributions to encyclopedia publications.
