" Indeed, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to collect knowledge disseminated around the globe; to set forth its general system to the men with whom we live, and transmit it to those who will come after us, so that the work of preceding centuries will not become useless to the centuries to come; and so that our offspring, becoming better instructed, will at the same time become more virtuous and happy, and that we should not die without having rendered a service to the human race. - Diderot[2] "
Entiyisweni, xikongomelo xa encyclopediya i ku hlengeleta vutivi lebyi hangalakeke emisaveni hinkwayo; ku yisi e mahlweni ndlela yo endla swilo eka vanhu lava hi hanyaka na vona, naswona yi siyeriwa lava ngata hi landzela, leswaku ntirho lowu endliweke e malambeni laya hundzeke wu va wa nkoka eka malembe laya ngata landzela; leswaku switukulwana swa hina swi dyondzeka ku antswa, swi engetela eka ntsako wa vona, na leswaku hi nga fi hi nga endlanga nhluvuko eka rixaka ra vanhu. - Diderot[2]
