Dictionary of persons on Christian archeology
The Personal Lexicon for Christian Archeology is a reference work in German on researchers and personalities in Christian archeology from the 16th to the 21st century from over 30 countries in Europe, Asia, North Africa and North America.
The encyclopedia
With its 1,504 personal articles, this standard work does not understand itself as personal information exclusively by Christian archaeologists, but as a prosopography of Christian archeology, which also includes people from related subjects ( classical archeology , monument preservation , art history , architecture, etc.) who have contributed to Christian archeology. The individual biographies are supplemented by a compilation of the archive material that is as complete as possible. In addition, there is a publication list of selected publications by the individual researchers, as well as a reference to any bibliographies and a selection of secondary literature on the respective person. A person index and an index of the places of activity and institutions make it possible to track the academic environment and personal network of the researchers.
The first, two-volume edition was published in 2012 by Schnell und Steiner publishing house in collaboration with the Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana (PIAC), Rome.
