1) PAUL NEEDHAM, INDEX POSSESSORUM INCUNABULORUM (=IPI)
CERL is very pleased to announce that there is now available, through our
Provenance Research pages, Paul Needham's Index Possessorum Incunabulorum
(=IPI).
IPI contains some 32,000 entries relating to the ownership of incunabula,
including personal names, institutional names, monograms, and arms. They
were extracted by Needham from some 200 published catalogues of incunabula
with provenance information, and they have been much augmented with
information from his own research.
We are very grateful to Dr Paul Needham, Scheide Librarian, Scheide
Library, Princeton University Library, for letting CERL make available
to the public his extraordinary tool for provenance research.

2) MATERIAL EVIDENCE IN INCUNABULA (=MEI)
http://incunabula.cerl.org/cgi-bin/search.pl [English version]
http://incunabula.cerl.org/cgi-bin/search.pl?lang=it [Italian version]
Also available now through CERL's Provenance Research pages is a new
database specifically designed to record and search the material
evidence (or copy specific, post-production evidence, provenance
information) of 15th-century printed books: ownership, decoration,
binding, manuscript annotations, stamps, prices, etc.
MEI is linked to the Incunabula Short-Title Catalogue (ISTC), from
which it derives the bibliographical records, and it allows the user
to combine search of bibliographical and copy-specific records.
MEI has been designed to contain new data from book-in-hand
examination or from card- catalogues, as well as what can be got by
retrospective conversion of data from published catalogues of
incunabula. Records can be downloaded in Marc21 or Unimarc Holdings
for integration into local OPACs.
Records are being inserted at the moment by a number of libraries.
Contribution of records to MEI is free and welcome: any library with
incunabula holdings is encouraged to insert their copy specific
records. Please get in touch with CERL's Secretary, Cristina Dondi at
c.dondi@cerl.org
