The Winkler Prins is a Dutch-language encyclopedia, founded by the Dutch poet and clergyman Anthony Winkler Prins (1817–1908) and published by Elsevier.[1] It has run through nine printed editions; the first, issued in 16 volumes from 1870 to 1882, and the last (the final in book form), numbering 26 volumes, from 1990 to 1993.[1] Winkler Prins has been the most distinguished printed encyclopedia in the Dutch language.[1] Publisher Elsevier collaborated with the Microsoft Corporation to put the 1993 version plus any new additions onto CD-ROM in 1997 as the Dutch-language version of Encarta.[1]
Since 2020, Winkler Prins online has two subscription-based editions: Junior Winkler Prins online (for primary education from age 6 ; c. 2,700 entries as of 2022), and Studie Winkler Prins online (for primary and secondary education from age 10 ; c. 11,500 entries as of 2022).[2]
