Abstract & Notes
This volume gathers eleven papers from the CERL conference The Scholar & the Database, held at the Royal Library in Brussels in 1999. Contributors explore how the Hand Press Book (HPB) database and other retrospective bibliographical projects shape the study of early European printing.
Topics include the challenges of quantification, the interpretation of bibliographical data, and the integration of copy-specific and contextual information. Case studies from Britain, France, Spain, Central Europe, and Russia highlight both methodological cautions and new possibilities for research. Together, the papers stress the importance of collaboration between librarians, database creators, and scholars in developing effective tools for the history of the book.
