Weinberg's work is so ground-breaking, his research so arduous, and his precursors in this field so generally unhelpful that we must regard this as charting virtually unexplored waters. There is nothing really to compare the book to, and there is not likely to be a more complete such book in the near future.

As one of the first comprehensive biographical dictionaries, it was intended to serve as a catalyst to stimulate further scholarship.
