About This Book

This volume gathers concise historical and topical entries arranged alphabetically covering subjects from Tunnage to Zyp, with a supplement of chronologies, genealogies of European sovereigns, selected bibliographies, and a list of quoted sources. Entries present short expository passages and definitions compiled from historians, biographers, and specialists, cross-referenced for ready consultation, and are accompanied by numerous maps and plans illustrating territorial development and military campaigns. The arrangement favors quick reference and topical reading rather than continuous narrative.
