About the bibliographies

The major divisions of the ICLS International Bibliography are arranged in alphabetical order according to the countries or regions whose ICLS bibliographical correspondents have reported. The bibliographical entries submitted here represent the third online volume of Encomia.

The various branches of the Society are responsible for their own choice of language (English, French, or German in this double volume) and their own entry selections, commentaries, and style. Presentation thus varies somewhat from branch to branch. Readers can search material online using a keyword search. Branch bibliographies are all divided into the same categories: I. Collections (i.e., conference proceedings, Festschriften, other edited volumes); II. Texts (i.e., editions, translations); III. Studies (i.e., books, articles, essays); and IV. Reviews (of books or other studies).

As given in the list of Periodicals and Series, abbreviations of journal and series titles tend to follow the practice of the MLA International Bibliography. There may exist some variation in the way in which branches cite periodicals and series. The names of modern authors, editors, translators, and reviewers are capitalized throughout. Please note that bibliographies are grouped together by year.

The designation [C-] and [F-], used in the “Studies” categories of some branch bibliographies refers to the entry under “Collections” in which can be found the complete publishing data for the entry. Other references to this volume or earlier volumes of the International Bibliography are indicated by a designation such as [Encomia 26 (2004)-123], in which the date is that of the relevant issue of Encomia (rather than the date of the reported bibliography) and the number is that of the relevant entry.

Most entries in the first three categories are annotated. However, annotation policy varies considerably from branch to branch. Some branch 40entries may thus presented be without commentary. As a general rule, annotators are identified by the initials given in parentheses at the end of their statements. The full names of all bibliographers are listed on the Contributing Bibliographers page.
