Description:
   This paper presents long slit CCD spectroscopy and X-ray data of 283 AGN
   detected in the ROSAT-All Sky Survey (RASS). Basis of the sample is the
   pre-identification of 4651 RASS sources on 134 sky fields (covering in
   total ~3500sq.deg.). The 283 presented AGN were selected from 1253 AGN
   candidates resulting from the pre-identification work.
