Synopsis
A New General Biographical Dictionary Projected And Partly Arranged By The Late Rev. Hugh James Rose: In Twelve Volumes. Author: Unknown. This nineteenth?century reference work presents a scholarly, alphabetically arranged biographical dictionary covering European figures from antiquity to the early modern era. Entries provide concise vidaes with birthplaces and dates, key life events, offices or roles, notable writings, and assessments of significance, drawing on a bibliography?heavy apparatus (e.g., Biog. Brit., Suppl.). The work spans multiple fields, including theology and church history, science and scholarship, architecture and the arts, diplomacy and letters, and medicine and natural science. Notable entries situate figures such as Tycho Brahe, Bramante and Bramantino, Bradwardine, Branca?line scholars, Brainerd, and Bramah, illustrating a broad panorama across Europe. The dictionary clusters biographies by name and catalogues figures from medieval to late modern times, with metadata points such as name, dates, nationality, occupation, major works, and influence emphasized for indexing and cross?referencing. The excerpt emphasizes a multi-disciplinary scope and a purpose of aiding metadata classification across religion, science, architecture, diplomacy, and the arts.
