| The revised edition of the New Catholic Encyclopedia represents a
third generation in the evolution of the text that traces its lineage
back to the Catholic Encyclopedia published from 1907 to 1912.
In 1967, sixty years after the first volume of the original set
appeared, The Catholic University of America and the McGraw-Hill Book
Company joined together in organizing a small army of editors and
scholars to produce the New Catholic Encyclopedia. Although
planning for the NCE had begun before the Second Vatican Council
and most of the 17,000 entries were written before Council ended,
Vatican II enhanced the encyclopedia's value and importance. The
research and the scholarship that went into the articles witnessed to
the continuity and richness of the Catholic Tradition given fresh
expression by Council. In order to keep the NCE current,
supplementary volumes were published in 1972, 1978, 1988, and 1995.
Now, at the beginning of the third millennium, The Catholic University
of America joins with The Gale Group in presenting a new edition of
the New Catholic Encyclopedia. It updates and incorporates the
many articles from the 1967 edition and its supplements that have stood
the test of time and adds hundreds of new entries. |
