Companion

In two volumes, The Dorothy Dunnett Companion, by Elspeth Morrison, provides quotations, translations, biographies, and historical background, plus maps and genealogies, re-creating at least a portion of Dorothy Dunnett's original research for the Lymond Chronicles and the House of Niccolò series. (More, from the publisher.)

The indexes presented here are intended to facilitate easier reference between the novels and the Companion. An example of how I might use this index: I am reading Part One, Chapter I of The Game of Kings. I look up several English, French and Latin quotations in the Companion, as well as entries for Attila and Torquemada. But when I consult the index, I realize that I have read past references to Midas and to syphilis without realizing that the Companion has relevant entries. Now I can check these Companion entries as well. (Of course, these indexes are probably useful only if you own the Companion.)
