The worlv began to appear in 1751, and was con- cluded in 1765, in 17 vols, fol., besides 11 vols, of plates. A supplement, in 5 vols., appeared at Amsterdam, 177G-1777, and a Table amdytique et raisonnee des matihres, in 2 vols., at Paris, in 1780. The publica- tion was stopped two or tlu"ee times by the govern- ment, and the last volumes were distributed private- ly, though the king himself was one of the purchasers. Diderot himself said of tlie Encyclopedia that he had bad " neither time nor means of being particular in the choice of his contributors, among whom some were excellent, but most of the rest were very in- ferior; moreover the contributors, being badly paid, worked carelessly ; in sliort, it was a patch-work com- posed of verj- ill-sorted materials, some masterpieces by the side of school-boys' performances ; and there was also considerable neglecf in the arrangement of the articles, and especially in the references." In
spite of all its defects, the Encyclopedia was the pride of France, and is in many respects a very able produc- tion.

'Erciip ; and TNI""^" in Psa. Ixxxiii, 10 [11], Sept. 'Atvi^wp ; Josephus "Ei'^wpot', Ant. vi, 14, 2), a place which, with its ' ' daughter-towns." (n:2), was in tlie territory of Issachar, and yet possessed by Manasseh (Josh, xvii, 11). Tliis was the case with five other places which lay partly in Asher, partlj- in Issachar, and seem to have formed a kind of district of their own, called " the three, or the triple Nepheth" (q. v.). The Israelites were unable to expel the Ca- naanites from it until a late period. Endor was long lield in memorj' by the Jewish people as connected with the great victory of Deborah and Barak over Sis- era and Jabin. Taanach, Megiddo, and the torrent Kishon all witnessed tlie discomfiture of the huge host, but it was emphatically to Endor that the tradition of the deatli of the two chiefs attached itself (Pea. Ixxxiii, 9, 10). Possibly it was some recollection of this, some fame of sanctity or good omen in Endor, which drew the unhappj' Saul thither (see Thomson, Land and Bool; ii, 161) on the eve of his last engagement with an enemy no less hateful and no less destructive than the Midianites (1 Sam. xxviii, 7). Endor is not again mentioned in the Scriptures ; but it was known to Eu- sebius and Jerome, who describe it (by the same name, 'Aii'Cojp and 'Evciop, yEndor and Endor^ as a large vil- lage in the plain of Jezreel or Esdraelon, 4 miles S. of Tabor (Chwmast. s. v. ' Arjv^wp, MnAor), near Nain and Scjthopolis (ih. s. v. 'Hi'cuip, Endor\ It was recog- nised during tlie Crusades (Brocardus, c. vi, p. 176; Marin. Sanut. p. 248), but was then partially lost sight of till the 17th century (Doubdan, p. 580 ; Nau, p. 632 ; Maundrell, Apr. 19). On the bleak northern slope of Jebel Duhy (the "Little Hermon" of travellers) the name still lingers, attached to a considerable but now deserted village (Burckhardt, Ti-av. p. 342 ; Robinson, Res. iii, 218 ; Schwarz, Palest, p. 149). The rock of the mountain, on the slope of which Endur stands, is hollowed into caves, one of which, containing a little fountain, the entrance narrow, between rugged rocks, and partly covered with a fig-tree, may well have been the scene of the incantation of the witch (Van de Velde, A'arralice, ii, 383). The distance from the slopes of Gilboa to Endor is 7 or 8 miles, over difficult ground (Porter, Ilandb. ii, 358).

ErayaWiip), a place named onlj' by Ezekiel (xlvii, 10), apparently as on the Dead Sea, but wheth- er near to or far from Engedi, on the west or east side of the sea, it is impossible to ascertain frcm the text: " The fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even to En-eglaim : they shall be a place to spread forth nets." In his comment on the passage, Jerome places it at the northern end of the Dead Sea, at the influx of the Jordan. M. de Saulcy thinks it identical with Ain- Ajlah, situated towards the northern point of the Dead Sea, between Jericho and the Jordan {Narrative, i.

Enemes'sar (Evi^iiaaapoQ and 'E)'£(U£(7(T«p) is the name under which Shai-maneseu (q. v.) appears in the book of Tobit (i, 2, 13, 15, IG). The change of the name is a corruption, the first syllable Shal being dropped (compare the Bupalussor of Abydenus, which represents iVabopolassar), and the order of the liquids m and n being reversed. The author of Tobit makes Enemessar lead the children of Israel into captivity (i, 2). following the apparent narrative of the book of Kings (2 Kings xvii, 3-G ; xviii, 9-11). He regards Sennacherib not only as his successor, but as his son (i, 15), for which he has probably no authority beyond Jiis own speculations upon the text of Scripture. — Smith, s. V. Sec Tobit.
