Human history has frequently showcased the the art of preserving biographies of exceptional personalities for the next generations. This stems from a deep-rooted tradition.

Precursors of today’s biographical encyclopaedias could already be found in ancient times. Curricula of the philosopher and writer Plutarch are still today the richest source of information displaying remarkable stories that are essential for many people living in modern times. In the Renaissance period, taking inspiration from Greek collective biographies, Filippo Villani published Le vite d’uomini illustri florentini (The lives of famous Florentines) which illustrated Florence as a big family whose most talented children had memorials erected to them in tribute.

In 1849, the very first biographical encyclopaedia was dedicated to the British royal family, the high aristocracy, politicians, judges and officers.

In 1897, the first modern edition of the encyclopaedia by the Black’s cousins appeared in England. In this period, biographies of personalities from different professional sectors could already be found in libraries.

The tradition of biographical encyclopaedias goes back to the 1840s. BPH - BRITISH PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD‘s ambition is to meet 21st century expectations and become a prestigious lexicon of successful personalities and a modern online network tuned into today’s wavelength.
