Abstract & Notes
This volume presents eight papers from the 2005 CERL seminar Many into One: Problems and Opportunities in Creating Shared Catalogues of Older Books, hosted by the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Rome. The contributions examine the development of shared cataloguing initiatives and the integration of historical bibliographical data into national and international databases.
Topics include the creation and standardisation of cataloguing rules in Italy (Marco Paoli), methodological approaches to catalogue headings and vernacular usage (Mauro Guerrini), the history and use of copy-specific identifiers such as fingerprints (Neil Harris, Brian Hillyard), and the compilation of printers’ and publishers’ devices (MAR.T.E.) for 17th-century Italian books (Marina Venier). Additional papers explore the development of XML-based databases for Hungarian rare books (Géza Bakonyi) and collaborative cataloguing projects in France (Florent Palluault) and at Yale University (Edwin Schroeder). The volume underscores the value of international collaboration, professional expertise, and technological innovation in enhancing access to Europe’s early printed heritage.
