Comp. by Schmuck, Hilmar The microfiche edition of the Greek
Biographical Archive (GBA) contains biographical articles from 90
reference books amounting to 148 volumes published between 1677 and
1996. For this Archive biographical entries from encyclopedias,
manuals, calendars, almanacs, articles, and from newspapers and
journals scattered around the world have been cumulated. Thus quick
and easy access is facilitated to a wealth of information, much of
which could previously only be found with great effort.The GBA
provides a uniquely broad survey of the many areas of Greek life,
with biographies of emperors, aristocrats, freedom fighters,
patriarchs, metropolitans, clerics, military officers, poets,
artists, scientists and merchants -- both the ruling class and the
ordinary people of what was once a great empire have been brought
together here. Individuals from Greece, Asia Minor, the Aegean
islands and lower Italy for the Byzantine era, and the area of
today?s Greece for the following period have been included.In its
three volumes the Greek Biographical Index (GBI) offers an
alphabetically arranged list of the 73,600 individuals included in
the GBA from the 4th century up to the 1980s and thus gives access
to the 91,380 biographical articles in the Archive. In addition to
the main entries, the GBI contains cross-references that have been
completed with biographical dates in order to better facilitate the
use of this index.As the GBI is an Index to the Greek Biographical
Archive, the user can tell at a glance whether or not any
particular individual appears in the Archive, and if so, where the
information is to be found. The Index specifies every individual?s
name with his/her biographical dates and profession. References to
the exact locations of the entries in the Greek Biographical
Archive plus the abbreviated titles of the biographical sources
used are also given. A key to the abbreviations used is
provided.Primarily, the Greek Biographical Index serves as a
register to the GBA. Thanks to its highly condensed form it greatly
aids the search for and selection of individuals listed in the
Archive. Furthermore, as a work in its own right, the Index
represents a valuable tool for biographical research: information
given by the Index allows the immediate identification of the
person in question as well as his/her historical period. The Greek
Biographical Index provides its user with direct access to the
biographical source material; both the original works in printed
form and the microfiches of the GBA. It therefore constitutes an
essential reference work for anybody interested in the history of
Greece and those areas previously a part of the Eastern Roman
Empire, whether for private, genealogical or academic purposes.
