Abstract & Notes
This volume publishes four papers from the 2002 Bibliopolis Conference The Future History ofthe Book, hosted by the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague. The contributions address the need for international collaboration in compiling national retrospective bibliographies and highlight the cross-border nature of Europe’s printed heritage.
Case studies include the international dispersal of incunables (John Goldfinch), the complexities of defining national outputs in regions with shifting political and cultural boundaries (Goran Proot and Stijn van Rossem), and the tracing of Hungarica across European collections (Judit Vizkelety-Ecsedy). Galina Rieder presents the cataloguing of the Russian National Library’s holdings within CERL’s Hand Press Book database. Together, the papers underscore how shared resources and cooperative cataloguing can overcome national limitations in the study of early European print.
