 olesonhistoriography
Stephen E. Ambrose, one of the leading biographers of Dwight D. Eisenhower, significantly emphasizes the President's role in the signing of the Austrian State Treaty.
The second major category in the historiography debate on the treaty looks at the role of the Soviet leaders and their motives for ending the occupation of Austria.
The 1955 State Treaty, which made neutrality possible, could only come about because the key Soviet leaders had changed their mind, and finally approved of a neutral status for Austria."

 artnet.com: Resource Library: Lancret, Nicolas
Two contemporary biographers, Ballot de Sovot and Dézallier D’Argenville, suggest that Lancret’s move to Gillot was the result of the increasing popularity of Watteau’s genre scenes of elegant figures in garden settings.
In 1719 he was received (reçu) into the Académie Royale as a painter of fêtes galantes, a category that had been created two years earlier especially for Watteau.
Lancret’s morceau de réception—Conversation galante (original or version, London, Wallace)—depicts a garden scene peopled by figures dressed in commedia dell’arte costume.

 Alexander Grothendieck Biography / Biography of Alexander Grothendieck World of Mathematics Biography
Grothendieck's early years have been difficult to reconstruct, due to his reluctance to deal in ordinary reminiscences and his distrust of biographers.
Grothendieck started off as an especially prolific contributor to each of the areas to which he turned, including functional analysis, algebraic geometry, and category theory, only to move away from mathematics later in his career.
Alexander Grothendieck has had an influence on the mathematics of the second half of the 20th century well beyond the scale of his publications.

 Classical Persian Music
As an example, the historian Henry G Farmer lists 28 music theorists between the 8th & the 12th centuries, claiming that these are only the 'most important' (how many such 'important' theorists could be claimed for the Western European era & musical culture ?), & this list misses out writers such as biographers.
In that category too there are numerous writings, one particularly noteworthy example being the Kitab al Aghani by Abul Faraj al-Isfahani (897 - 967).
