Abstract & Notes

This first volume of CERL Papers presents three landmark lectures that reflect on the future of bibliographical research in Europe and beyond. Ann Matheson outlines a vision for the Consortium of European Research Libraries as it began to build a comprehensive database of hand-press period printing. Bernhard Fabian discusses the potential for an integrated European printed archive, while Luigi Balsamo explores the global history of the book and the role of universal bibliography. Originating from seminars in Munich and Chicago in 1997, these contributions highlight the significance of CERL’s early initiatives and their broader impact on the study of Europe’s printed heritage.
