of monograms, name abbreviations, etc.
This list contains all name variants referenced in the production of prints, according to the notices in the Bibliographie de la France, 1811-1830, transcribed in the Image of France datafile. It is intended to assist in identifying variants, when using the search engine at ARTFL. Please remember, however, that this search engine does not tolerate the use of diacritical accents or the punctuation mark "." -- although both are noted here, according to their occurrence in the data.
This list is an extraction of all variety of the versions of names without any editorial correction whatsoever; consequently, it includes titles of address (M., Mme, Mlle, Ve) surnames, initialisms, spelling variants, errors and typographical mistakes, as copied from the pages of the Bibliographie de la France. It is arranged by frequency of occurrence, in order to avoid the invitation of visual perusal implied by an alphabetized list. Use the "find function" of your html browser, to proceed from the most frequent to the least frequent variant.
Additional listings are being derived from this master, in order to describe further the contents of the Image of France and to assist in its research. These include (1) a list of all variants recognizably belonging to women, (2) a list of name abbreviations, monograms and cyphers, (3) a sorted list of the variants, grouped by common name.
