| Summary | "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Bisharin' to 'Bohea'" by Various is a comprehensive reference work written in the early 20th century. The collection consists of detailed articles that cover a wide range of topics, including geography, history, and notable individuals, represented in an encyclopedic format. The specific content centers on entries starting from "Bisharin," a nomadic tribe, to "Bohea," addressing various subjects that reflect human knowledge of the time. At the start of this volume, the text introduces several entries, beginning with the Bisharin and their cultural context as a nomadic tribe in Africa, followed by notable historical figures like Sir Henry Rowley Bishop, a musical composer, and Isabella Bird, an English traveler and author. The opening also outlines the ecclesiastical role and significance of bishops within different branches of Christianity, particularly in the Roman Catholic and Anglican traditions.
