Introduction

Abstract

In the preceding section we discussed one of aims of this bibliographical project: the gathering and compiling of data provided directly by the authors themselves. From the outset, however, this primary source of information was supplemented by through analysis of other sources of a more general nature which, for convenience, we have placed under several different headings: 1) general bibliographies; 2) partial bibliographies; 3) the acts of congresses (state-level congresses being distinguished from those held at regional level or devoted to a single topic); 4) publications resulting from seminars, cycles of lectures and collections of readings; and 5) specialized journals.
