- Resum
- Presenting the proceedings of the second COMERS Congress, this volume contains contributions from many areas of literature, history and philosophy in ancient, medieval and Renaissance Europe and the Near East. The genre of the encyclopaedia were defined and named only in modern times, but texts which aspire to encyclopaedic ideals of utility and comprehensiveness are found throughout recorded history. This volume comprises five extended essays on the problems and opportunities facing the researchers into encyclopaedic texts, and 21 research papers on specific topics.
