"Glossarium Artis" is probably the most comprehensive work of its
kind on the actively used terminology of art and archaeology.
Including technical terms from architecture, art and crafts, the
ten-volume dictionary comprises some 3,000 terms per volume, each
of which is dedicated to a specific topic. The terms are sourced
from English, French and German specialist literature.
The individual volumes are structured systematically by subject
fields, which also list specific terminology in alphabetical order
and provide contextual references. Definitions are given in German;
synonyms are included as well. Adequate equivalents or defining
translations are supplied for German-language terms. Detailed,
schematic depictions and reproductions of well-known works from art
and architecture, e.g. the Spanish Steps in Rome as an example of
urban steps, serve to illustrate the respective technical term.
Each volume is rounded off by an international bibliography as well
as indexes in English, French and German -- if required by the
topic, in Latin, Greek and Russian, too. As the indexes also
provide translations of the individual terms, they double as
foreign language dictionaries in their own right.
"Glossarium Artis" can be used as thesaurus, foreign language
dictionary and, to some extent, pictorial dictionary, too. As a
subject dictionary, however, it is aimed at gathering, defining and
systematically organizing relevant terminology.
