personality and personal history analysis Explanation: From Greek pro_sapon 'face' and >-grafi): Historic discipline, which tries to analyse and understand the devolpment of a society by studying the members of the 'ruling class', their political careers, marriage plans etc. The method was developped in Germany around 1900, above all through Friedrich Münzers' studies of Roman nobility, but has later gained access into post-antique historic research.
