"encyclopedology"?

Not in OED, but used at least twice, in 1992 and 1993 (Google
Books). Unfortunately for one the page is restricted. For the
other, the snippet is suggestive that the author is referring to a
chapter title in an earlier book:
"Part two is called 'Cosmology' (42), and part 3 is titled
'Encyclopedology' -- the knowledge that 'we have of these objects' (52)."
Not sufficient instances for the OED?
