                             NAME ESTABLISHMENT - 1

Time-consuming,  but  one  of  the  cataloger's most responsible tasks, name
establishment  tests  his  capabilities to the full.  He or she must be
aware of  the information contained not only in biographical dictionaries
such as nos. 7-8 but also in authoritative histories of subjects (e.g.
nos. 9-12)  and catalogs  of  distinguished collections whether in limited
areas (e.g. no.  13)  or in wider fields (e.g. nos. 14-18).  Finally, he
or she must be alive to  the fact that the latest and best source may be
a periodical article, for which a convenient guide is provided by no, 19.

      Onomasticon; repertorio biobibliografico degli scrittori italiani
    dal 1501 al  1850.  Milano,  Hoepli, 19^7.

    Manget, tloy etc.

      Introduction to the history of science ... Baltimore, Carnegie

    monographs and periodical articles.  These are virtually complete
    lists.  MLA Handbook  50.  For subsequent work on authors of this
    period, one must consult e.g. the critical bibliographies issued
    annually in the periodical  Isis and the quarterly index of period-

    (no.  19).

indices enhance the value of this masterly history.

     of journals devoted to the history of medicine and science.
                           NAME ESTABLISHMENT -  2

Anonyms and pseudonyms often cause difficulty.   The  following  include  a
general guide to the field (no. 20) and representative  specimens  of  the
dictionaries available (nos. 21-23).

20.  TAYLOR, Archer and Mosher, Fredric J.
       The bibliographical history of anonyma and pseudonyma,   Chicago,
     Newberry Library, 1951. 
 
- 5 -
       Includes an excellent critical bibliography of work in this field
     (p. 207-279).

21.  WELLER, Emil Ottokar
       Lexicon pseudonymorum ...  2 ed. Regensburg, Coppenrath, 1886.
       Contains about 37,500 pseudonyms.  Entries are brief and sadly
     uneven: there is no index of true names, and no supporting evidence
     for the identifications is provided.  Cf.  Taylor (no. 20) p.  275-6.

22.  HALKETT, Samuel
       Dictionary of anonymous and pseudonymous English literature
     (Samuel Halkett & John Laing.)  New & enl. ed. by Dr. James Kennedy.

       Latest volume (1962) contains addenda to vols. 1-8.  Winchell A 96;
     3A 18; Taylor (no. 20) p.  135-37, 234.

     und Dr. Harms Bohatta.  Weimar, Gesellschaft der Bibliophilen,
     1902-28.  Includes some 83,000 entries. Winchell A 109;  Taylor
     (no.  20) p. 236.
                          TITLE PAGE TRANSCRIPTION

 Few libraries  (cf. note on no. 4) can afford to reproduce the title page
 exactly as it  stands, with all the ligatures, contractions and abbre-
 viations contained therein faithfully reproduced.  Contractions and
 abbreviations  have to be expanded.  The following guides explain some
 of the more common, whether found in manuscripts (no, 24) or in early
 printed books  (McKerrow)

 24. CAPPELLI,  Adriano
       Lexicon  abbreviaturarum ...  2 ed. Milano, U. Hoepli, 1912.
       An anastatic reprint of the 3d, ed. of 1929 was published in 1949.

                                     IMPRINT

A valuable adjunct to any rare book division is an index of printers and
publishers.  There are many people interested in the history of printing
in particular countries and cities, or in the output of individual crafts-
men.  Ideally therefore, such an index should be arranged in two sections
(l) under particular country, then by cities (2) under name with cross
references to variant forms of name, and place of printing or publishing.

The following should offer assistance.  No. 26 will help to convert ancient
Latin and other place names to their modern equivalents, for their proper
entry in the geographical index; no. 27 should help to identify books
issued with printer's or publisher's device only:  nos. 28-30 will provide
correct forms of name for inclusion in the name file.  Finally, nos. 31-32
are examples of the magnificent work done by experts in the field, whose
labors would have been lessened had all libraries maintained such files.

26.  PEDDIE, Robert Alexander
       Place names in imprints; an index to the Latin and other forms used
     on title pages.  London, Grafton, 1932.

27.  DAVIES, Hugh William
       Devices of the early printers, 1457-1560; their history and devel-
     opment ... London, Grafton, 1935.
       Includes facsimiles of devices.  These are sometimes the only clue
     to the identity of the printer or publisher.

28.  PLOMER, Henry Robert and others
       A dictionary of the printers and booksellers who were at work in
     England, Scotland, & Ireland from 1668 to 1725.  cOxford3 Biblio-

     Parisian publishers,  issued a number of medical books including
     editions of the ancient authorities, Galen, Hippocrates etc.

     (Ministero della pubblica istruzione.   Indici e cataloghi, 11)
       Bongivs scholarly notes on the authors,  translators and editors
     of his 750-odd items make this an invaluable contribution to biog-
     raphy and literary history.
                              BINDERS AND BINDING

Most rare book divisions try to maintain a card index of dated or signed
bindings.  The literature on the subject is vast.  Representative is:

33.  HELWIG, Hellmuth
       Handbuch der Einbandkunde.  [Hamburg3 Maximilian - Gesellschaft,
     1953-55.  3v. illus.
       Vol. 2 contains a bio-bibliography of European bookbinders through
     1850, a topographical bibliography of binders and an index of "Supra-
     libris".  Vol. 3 is an index of names and places,
       A useful selective list of literature on the history of bindings
     and individual binders is provided in the illustrated catalog of an
     exhibition organized by the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore:  The his-
     tory of bookbinding, 525-1950 A.D.  Baltimore, Trustees of the
     Gallery, 1957. p. 269-70,
                                  BOOKPLATES

Though something of a luxury, a bookplates file can often provide valua-
ble information on the history of a particular copy.  The fact that a
famous person may have owned such and such a book lends an added interest
to it, especially if the book also has marginal notes.  Again, the liter-
ature is vast.  For medical librarians, there is:

34.  RADBILL, Samuel X.
       Bibliography of medical ex-libris literature.  Los Angeles, Calif.,
     Hilprand Press, 1951.
       See also for bookplates of the several nations: Castle, Egerton.

INCUNABULA
 Books  printed in the  fifteenth century are  at  once  the  rarest, dearest and
 the  most described.   The following authorities list some  of  the 40,000 items
 thought to have  been  published in the  first 50 years of printing:

                            SIXTEENTH  CENTURY  PERIOD

Relatively uncharted  ground in  comparison with the 15th cent., the period
repays  investigation.   The  following  are some of the basic reference aids,
including  a general guide  (no.  4l), a typographical study of British
Museum  holdings  for the first two decades (no. 42), and typical national
(nos. 43-45)  as  well  as regional bibliographies (nos. 46-48)

     ography of  bibliographies.  Geneve, Societas Bibliographica, 1961.

     rate  sections on bibliographies  of bibliographies; general, select,
     subject,  and  national  bibliographies; and Library catalogs.

     of bibliographical scholarship"  issued annually since 1948 with
     periodic cumulations by the Bibliographical Society of the University
     of Virginia.  Each of  these is in two sections:   Part I, Incunabula

42,  PROCTOR,  Robert  George Collier
        An  index  to the  early printed  books in the British Museum ...
     London,  Kegan Paul cetc,3  1898-1903; B.  Quaritch, 1938,  pts. 1-2
     in 6v.
        Part 2 covers  1501-1520.  Section 1 (1903) is devoted to Germany:
     section  2 to  Italy; section 3 (1938), by Frank Isaac, to Switzerland
     and Eastern Europe.
        Particularly useful  for  the analyses of type^ used by the individual
     printers.   Many  books  published  without indication of where or by
     whom  they were printed are here  identified by Proctor and Isaac on
     the evidence  of  types  alone.  Often referred to as "Proctor-Isaac".
