Dictionnaire historique de l’anthroponymie romane (Patronymica Romanica): Volume I/1 Introduction. Cahier des normes rédactionelles. Morphologie. Abréviations et sigles

The initially published volume (Vol. II/1) of the Dictionary of Romance Anthroponymy appeared in 2004. In the form of articles modelled on those of the major etymological dictionaries, it lists personal names in the Romance languages from the Middle Ages to the present, in line with a classification system devised in the framework of the PatRom project. The present volume assembles the introductions to the PatRom project and the dictionary itself, sets out the editorial principles established for the dictionary, provides a brief introduction to the etymological foundations of Romance suffixes, and rounds off with a set of bibliographies, both onomastic and referential. The bibliography of the Romance sources drawn upon will be published in a separate volume.
