The initially published volume (Vol. II/1) of theDictionary of Romance Anthroponymyappeared 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 thePatRomproject. The present volume assembles the introductions to thePatRomproject 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.
