In 1917, in Petrograd, Vladimír Szmurlo published another encyclopedia called Ariadne's Thread, with mere references as "A first try of an Encyclopedia of Esperantism; with a firm belief that out of that person ... a seed will grow a huge tree of the Universal Esperanto Encyclopedia." The first pages (1–88) were printed in Riga. Due to military circumstances, the next pages of the book appeared infrequently, only after the letter "E", and with contents very in short supply and content.

Famous quotes containing the word thread:
“I often wish for the end of the wretched remnant of my life; and that wish is a rational one; but then the innate principle of self-preservation, wisely implanted in our natures, for obvious purposes, opposes that wish, and makes us endeavour to spin out our thread as long as we can, however decayed and rotten it may be.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
