The Bodleian Catalogs of 1674 and 1738: An Examination in the Light of Modern Cataloging Theory

The Bodleian catalogs of 1674 and 1738 had a significant influence upon cataloging practice in their own day and subsequently. The preface to the 1674 catalog and the structure of both catalogs show an awareness of an important question now being raised in modern cataloging theory: the distinction between "book" and "work." The catalogs were also able to fulfill functions later enunciated in the Paris Principles of 1961. Through a complex system of cross-references and ascriptive notes, the catalogs showed themselves attentive to the needs of scholars of the time. We learn much of the way in which decisions were made from a detailed journal kept by a compiler of the 1738 catalog.
