BISLAM. Bibliotheca Scriptorum Latinorum Medii Recentiorisque Aevi. II Onomastic and Literary Census of Medieval Latin Authors. Identification, Classification by Literary Genre, and General Bibliography is an onomastic, biographical, bibliographical, and literary-historical repertory of Medieval Latin literature.The volume offers scholars and cataloguers an aid in resolving problems in identification of authors active between the end of the 5th and beginning of the 16th centuries through concise biographical information, a list of name variants in Latin and modern languages, in addition to bibliographic direction and citation of the principal literary genres of their works.The research tools on the accompanying CD-ROM allow quick access to information contained in the volume, and offer the possibility to cross-search by numerous onomastic, biographical, chronological, and literary-historical parameters. With Bibliotheca Scriptorum Latinorum Medii Recentiorisque Aevi, S.I.S.M.E.L. (Società Internazionale per lo Studio del Medioevo Latino) concludes twelve years of research with the publication of this new edition of a bio-bibliographic, onomastic, and literary catalogue of Medieval Latin authors. This repertory comprises 13,174 entries on as many authors, along with 83,124 variants of their names.While the first edition, published in 2003, provided a census of approximately 5,300 authors and 12,500 name variants, this second edition encompasses the first and goes well beyond in both the number of authors it treats and the amount of information it offers on each entry. In fact, in addition to name variants, the catalogue also includes for each author: dates when active, significant moments in the career, preferred literary genres, and brief notes on the major problems of identification and attribution of works. Each entry is accompanied by source references. The information is the result of the examination, assessment, and analysis of 47 specialised reference works, chosen for their reliability and completeness.The data extracted has been submitted for critical evaluation and correction in accordance with the most authoritative recent scholarship and supplemented with an extensive number of editions, specialized articles, encyclopedias, bibliographies, and catalogues. Accompanied by a CD-ROM, the work is considered the most up-to-date and exhaustive onomastic and biobibliographic repertory of Medieval Latin authors.
