FactGrid:PhiloBiblon
back to Middle Ages
PhiloBiblon (which takes its name from Richard de Bury's 14th-c. description of an ideal library) is the corpus of data catalogued by the PhiloBiblon Project: the romance vernacular sources of medieval and early modern Iberian culture: the primary sources themselves, both manuscript and printed, the texts they contain, the individuals involved with the production and transmission of those sources and texts, and the libraries holding them, along with relevant secondary references and authority files for persons, places, and institutions.
