ANECDOTE (from av-, privative, and isSLSwu, to give out or publish)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 2 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANECDOTE (from av-, privative, and isSLSwu, to give out or publish) , a word originally meaning something not published. It has now two distinct significations. The
primary
  one is something not published, in which sense it has been used to denote either
secret
  historiesProcopius, e.g., gives this as one of the titles of his
secret
 
history
  of Justinian's courtor portions of
ancient
  writers which have remained
long
  in
manuscript
  and are edited for the first time. Of such anecdota there are many collections; the earliest was probably L. A.
Muratori
 's, in 1709. In the more general and popular acceptation of the word, however, anecdotes are short accounts of detached interesting particulars. Of such anecdotes the collections are almost infinite; the best in many respects is that compiled by T. Byerley (d. 1826) and J.
Clinton
  Robertson (d. 1852), known as the
Percy
  Anecdotes (1820-1823).
