The Times Literary Supplement praised the Almanach de Gotha for a
"punctilious itemization of titles, lineage and heraldry (aiming)
for scholarship rather than sensation." Sir Stephen Runciman wrote
in the Spectator "In this present age, which we are often told sees
the twilight of royalty, it is comforting to be able to welcome the
reappearance of the most distinguished of genealogical almanacs."
The 250th Anniversary 2013 edition follows the successful format of
previous editions with families listed by rank in their
corresponding parts. Births, marriages and deaths of all members of
the Gotha have been updated and it remains the only publication to
list all the members of all the imperial, royal, princely and ducal
houses and the courts of the Holy Roman Empire. Even family
disputes are handled by the careful noting of competing claims.
This new edition also sees a full list of the households of the
courts of Europe, diplomatic listings and a full entry for the Holy
See. This is the official and authorised publication. The most
comprehensive listing of its kind, with an impeccable pedigree, the
book remains an essential reference for genealogists, libraries and
scholars. There is and never has been a comparable source, a book
once described as "the second most important ever published."
