Prosopography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prosopography is an important methodological tool within historical research, its goal being the collection of all known information about individuals within a given period, often in the form of a register or database (frequently also known as a "Prosopography" or an "Onomastikon", e.g. The Prosopography of the Neo-Assyrian Empire).
