consists out of 50 volumes. Although the presentation only the first 25 volumes
of the biographical dictionaries were delivered. In the next year the
other 25 volumes will be worked on and completed. In this ambitious work the
lives of the most important persons in the Spanish history until 1950 will be
described an also some important exceptions will be given.
