Abstract

WILKINSON, Alexander S.  and  ULLA LORENZO, Alejandra. Iberian Books: Compiling a Short Title Catalogue in the Digital Age. Bibliographica [online]. 2018, vol.1, n.2, pp.221-236.  Epub Dec 09, 2024. ISSN 2594-178X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iib.bibliographica.2018.2.30.

The purpose of this article is to outline the origins, current status and future direction of Iberian Books. The core ambition of the project is to create a foundational short title catalogue of all books printed in Spain, Portugal and the New World, or published elsewhere in an Iberian language, between 1472 and 1700. Yet, the project can also be leveraged in other significant ways, not least in terms of data visualisation, as well as the creation of a searchable repository of ornamentation and illustration. Combined, these tools offer a powerful resource which enables the study of the structure and character of Iberian print in the Early Modern Age.

Keywords : Iberian Books; short-title catalogue; data visualizations; visual culture; image recognition.
