Prosopograhy – a study that identifies and relates a group of persons or characters within a particular historical or literary context (Merriam-Webster dictionary)
Prosopography is based on structured biographical data; it should not be confused with biography.
![Page 16: Personal bibliography forming a public image of a scientist](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55635940d8b42a2f508b4733/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Prosopograhy embodies bibliographical data with the links to documents (original, digital, etc.)
![Page 17: Personal bibliography forming a public image of a scientist](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55635940d8b42a2f508b4733/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Prosopograhy reports all the information on such persons that is contained in the different sources (such as chronicles, letters, saints' lives, legal documents as well as other texts like inscriptions and seals) and lists the respective sources (Prosopography of the Middle-Byzantine Period)
