"Kein Band, kein Einband der von mir entworfenen Enzyklopädie ist dem anderen gleich. Trotzdem greifen sie bei aller Verschiedenheit ineinander und fügen sich zu einem Gesamtbild. Dieses Vernetzen untereinander ist Sinnbild des Wissens, das Brockhaus vermittelt" [translation of quote: No volume, no binding of this encyclopedia is like the other. Yet they intertwine, despite their diverseness, and create a rounded overall picture. This interconnection is an allegory of knowledge, which Brockhaus imparts] (announcement).
