Abstract & Notes
This volume presents six papers from the 2006 CERL seminar Imprints and Owners: Recording the Cultural Geography of Europe, hosted by the National Széchényi Library, Budapest. The contributions address the challenges and opportunities of cataloguing and accessing Europe’s rare and early printed books.
Topics include character encoding in the MOKKA-R database (Ádám Hegyi and Róbert Zawiasa), the development of the Union Catalogue of Rare Book Collections in the Carpathian Basin (István Monok), and issues related to incunabula and copy-specific data in Hungarian collections (Marianne and Béla Rozsondai). Other papers explore the recording of provenance and book itineraries in online catalogues (Tony Curwen and Gunilla Jonsson), the CERL Thesaurus as an international repository for names from the hand-press era (Alexander Jahnke), and the implications of digital access for historic collections in modern libraries (Kristian Jensen). Collectively, the volume highlights the intersection of bibliographical scholarship, provenance research, and digital tools in mapping the European cultural and intellectual landscape.
