4. 29. Juli 2013 Person Data Repository "As such [prosopography] is a system for organizing mostly scarce data in such a way that they acquire additional significance by revealing connections and patterns influencing historical process.“ (p. 37, Keats-Rohan) "The factoid was to refer to an assertion about an individual in a source, presented in the source as true. Rather than struggling over terminology and whether these assertions were true [...] and therefore 'facts', this allowed us to record factoids from the source without establishing their positivist truth. Their connection to reality may be in doubt, but they are 'historical facts' by virtue of being contained within a primary source." (p. 130, Smythe) Source for both: Keats-Rohan, K. S. B.: Prosopography Approaches And Applications. A Handbook. Prosopographica & Genealogica: Oxford 2007. PROSOPOGRAPHY
