Artikel-Details (Art.-Nr. 8816251)

Medieval Prosopography was founded in 1980 when methodologies of social science were combined with social history in an attempt to explore and explicate the lives of people who, when treated as individuals, often remain obscure. The aim of this annual journal is to provide a venue for work based on the ideas and methodology of collective or group biography-prosopography. Because of a lack of sources created by or about individuals, the prosopographical method of analysis of groups of people has lent itself especially well to medieval history. Over the past four decades, Medieval Prosopography has published articles on a range of subjects from all periods and places of medieval history.
