The compiler has limited the scope of this bibliograpy to history, “with all its auxiliary fields and related disciplines, like archeology and ethnography.” This bibliography is subdivided into sixteen sections and includes the following: “monographs and articles in periodicals and collective volumes in all languages, except Chinese and Japanese, published from the 17th century A.D. to 1988 (please see footnote 31 for additional comments). The entries for monographs are listed first and followed by articles. Due to the complexities assoicated with transliteration systems, the compiler lists the names of the authors as “they appear in the original.” Morever, “…any variant spellings of an author’s name… are listed separately in the index, with other spellings cross-referenced.” Researchers can browse the extensive ethnography section through subheadings or individual ethnic groups (Section VIII, Volume II, pp. 1081-1381).<\/p>\n
