As the written output of European culture has continued to expand and diversify the need to establish controls of the materials has also increased. The listing description and analysis of texts whether in manuscript or print have engaged a long series of individuals in what can only be described as a heroic struggle. These individuals are the subject of the essays in this book which reveal that all those researching the byways of book trade history - from the library catalogers of medieval times to the dedicated scholar-librarians and historians of the recent past -can truly be said to have been "pioneers in bibliography.

1998108153New Castle DE and Folkestone England: Oak Knoll Press and St. Paul's Bibliographies 1998. pictorial paper-covered boards. small 8vo. pictorial paper-covered boards. 170 pages. In this most recent volume of the Publishing Pathways Series leading scholars from different specialties provide fascinating glimpses of the interaction between science medicine and the culture of print. Booksellers printers collectors readers and the mechanisms of production and distribution across several centuries form the basis of their studies. Michael Harris reveals the medical hazards that constantly threatened the health and safety of London printers in the 19th century. Peter Isaac reveals the close connections between bookselling and the marketing of proprietary and patent medicines. Vanessa Harding uses the evidence provided by Richard Smyth's "Obituary" to reconstruct a complex network of printers and customers in plague-ridden London. Sylvia De Renzi uses the career of Robert S. Whipple a prominent manufacturer of scientific instruments to show how an individual collector could contribute to the emergence of the history of science as a distinct discipline in the 20th century. Lotte Hellinga uses the evidence provided by incunabula to construct chronologies of the spread of ideas as well as to track the spread of particular diseases as they swept across 15th-century Europe. Roy Porter in a wide-ranging argument explores the relationship of print and readers including dire warnings from the past about the effect of reading on mental health. Finally John Symons recounts Sir Henry Wellcome's 40-year omnivorous collecting mania which formed the basis of the Wellcome Institute's library and underlines his immense contribution to the development of the history of medicine as a field of interest.
