Biographical archive of the Middle Ages

Covering a period reaching from the 6th century to 1500, the Biographical Archive of the Middle Ages documents 1,000 years of history, in biographical articles. Some 65,000 persons from Europe and the Middle East are included; individuals who shaped, influenced and sustained every day life, cultural development and religious life. The biographies reflect the special role of the church in the Middle Ages as well as the heyday of courtly culture and the significance of the scientific achievements of the Arabs, especially in the areas of medicine, astronomy and astrology.
