Matte painting was also used instead of 'building a set or carting in a mountain range, the needed elements were painted on the glass on location' (accidentally cropped out of picture)
Definition from Wikipedia
Looking at these definitions, you can see that the hand book gives a more defined definition, where wikipedia it has been put more simpler and doesn't go into so much detail as such.
The similarities between both definitions are that they both describe how they are used to create/replace a background for the appropriate scene. It tells us that its used instead of 'building a set or carting in a mountain range' and it is a 'painted representation of a landscape, set or distant location' which are created by being 'painted on the glass at location'.
The differences between the definitions are that the handbook is more detailed in the sense that when it talks about how it's done, it says 'a sheet of glass is placed between the camera and scene filmed' as well as saying 'the section of the filmed image thats blocked out or matted out' where as wikipedia simply says 'allows filmmakers to create the illusion' not so much telling you whats being done to create the effect and it doesn't give you too much of an explanation.
