In fact, says Ann M. Blair in this intriguing book, the invention of the printing press and the ensuing abundance of books provoked sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European scholars to register complaints very similar to our own. Blair examines methods of information management in ancient and medieval Europe as well as the Islamic world and China, then focuses particular attention on the organization, composition, and reception of Latin reference books in print in early modern Europe. She explores in detail the sophisticated and sometimes idiosyncratic techniques that scholars and readers developed in an era of new technology and exploding information. 606 $aReference books, Latin$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aReference books, Latin$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aReference books$xHistory 606 $aCommunication in learning and scholarship$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aCommunication in learning and scholarship$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aNote-taking$xHistory 606 $aBibliography$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aBibliography$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReference books, Latin$xHistory 615 0$aReference books, Latin$xHistory 615 0$aReference books$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunication in learning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aCommunication in learning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aNote-taking$xHistory. 615 0$aBibliography$xHistory 615 0$aBibliography$xHistory 676 $a039.71094 700 $aBlair$b Ann$f1961-$0259226 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452562803321 996 $aToo much to know$9257886 997 $aUNINA
