Biographical dictionary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biographical dictionaries — a type of encyclopedic dictionary limited to biographical information — have been written in many languages. Many attempt to cover the major personalities of a country (with limitations, such as living persons only, in Who's Who, or deceased people only, in the Dictionary of National Biography). Others are specialised, in that they cover important names in a subject field, such as architecture or engineering.
