built 628 days ago
Many inscriptions in the Iberian scripts have been found on the Iberian peninsula, in southern France and on the Balearic Islands. The oldest known inscriptions date from the 4th century BC. The scripts are thought to have derived from the Punic alphabet.

The Iberians were a set of peoples that Greek and Roman sources (among others, Hecataeus of Miletus, Avienus, Herodot and Strabo) identified with that name in the eastern coast of the Iberian peninsula at least from the 6th century BC. These included the Elisices, Sordones, Ceretani, Airenosi, Andosini, Bergistani, Ausetani, Indigetes, Castellani, Lacetani, Laietani, Cessetani, Ilergetes, Iacetani, Suessetani, Sedetani, Ilercavones, Edetani, Contestani, Oretani, Bastetani and Turdetani. The Roman and Greek sources often diverge about the precise location of each Iberian people and ... about the list of Iberian peoples.

This two-volume work generally includes literature from the tenth century to the mid-1980s and--with a few exceptions--is limited to writers born in the Iberian Peninsula. A guide to determining the format of the Dictionary was the classic Diccionario de Literatura Española by Ger'man Bleiberg and Julían Marías. This updated and reworked version devotes more attention to writings by neglected or forgotten works by female authors and to writers in major languages other than Spanish in the peninsula, including Portuguese, Catalan, and Galician. There are ... entries on major time periods, movements, and other topics. Titles of works discussed are translated to English. Wherever possible, the text of each entry is followed by a three part bibliography and cross-referencing.
