Abstract & Notes
This volume collects papers from the 2008 and 2009 CERL seminars Linking the Worlds of Script and Print: Catalogues of European Manuscripts and Early Printed Books, hosted by the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, and the Academic Library of Tallinn University. The contributions examine the creation, integration, and accessibility of manuscript and early-printed book catalogues across Europe.
Topics include German experiences in medieval and Renaissance manuscript cataloguing (Claudia Fabian), the French university manuscript network Calames (Yann Nicolas), and the manuscripts interface of the Catalogue collectif de France (Florent Palluault). Case studies on the reception of Melanchthon in Sweden (Otfried Czaika), digitisation of Estonian early book collections (Helle Maaslieb), and the presence of early-printed Russian books in Estonian libraries (Larisa Petina) illustrate how digital tools and collaborative cataloguing efforts connect the worlds of script and print. Collectively, the papers highlight the role of shared resources in improving scholarly access to European written heritage across national and linguistic boundaries.
