These are followed by explanatory notes, an English version of the original title if applicable, references to parallel and other editions, a brief synopsis of the contents as well as references to reviews including those written outside the period covered by the bibliography. Four indexes (by author, title, subject and place) provide quick access to this extensive reference work, thus facilitating easy and targeted searches.
