Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Phoenician Culture I: Historical Characters The Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Phoenician Culture (EDPC) is the
result of a wide-ranging international project and is intended to be an
in-depth and up-to-date standard reference work for Phoenician studies.
It is a series in the form of an encyclopaedia with the structure of a
dictionary, comprising about 2,000 entries, written by circa 200
contributors from 20 different countries. Current knowledge on the
Phoenicians and Carthaginians (with close attention to their various
interactions with other cultures) will be presented as a sequence of
themed volumes, all closely interrelated, dealing respectively with
religion, language and written sources, socio-economic life, and
archaeological sites of both the Levant and the Central and Western
Mediterranean. As part of a collection, each volume should be considered
as belonging to a set: in one sense independent but at the same time
inseparable from the others in respect of both the amount of information
and the network of cross-references linking the various lemmata.
The present volume, dedicated to historical characters, is a
compendium of historical and historically documented individuals,
arranged alphabetically and organized using criteria that are meant to
be as consistent as possible. Like the thematic volumes to follow, the
present volume is a reference work: it is based on a piece by piece
reconstruction of the whole of `Phoenician' history (understood in its
widest sense) through its various protagonists at every level.
