In all, 110 authors contributed the some 600 entries—of which approximately 230 are biographical entries and some 370 address places, events, institutions, concepts, and terminology. The volume also includes 70 images, including historic paintings and contemporary photographs. The index runs 18 pages—from “Acosta, José de, SJ” to “Zipoli, Domencio, SJ.”
