Who Was Pompeo Caimo’s Library Intended For?: Family Use and Public Endowment of a 17th-Century Book Collection
No full textThe contribution focuses on the bibliotheca of Pompeo Caimo, born in Udine in 1568. He was a physician to Cardinal Montalto in Rome and a professor of philosophy at the Sapienza University of Rome from 1604 to 1623. From 1624, Pompeo was also a professor of medicine and anatomy at the University of Padua. With his brother Eusebio, a jurist and bishop, and indispensable in the running of the household, he decided that the extensive library (roughly 2,500 volumes) should benefit their descendants’ education and professional training. However, the library also had another destiny: Caimo's heirs donated it to the Republic of Venice in 1636 to expand the University of Padua's library, which had become a public library (publica libraria) in 1629. The essay examines the book collection in light of its owner's professional profile and the family's policy of educating and training younger generations. By comparing this decision with other similar donations during the same period, this paper also tries to understand the family's final decision to donate the whole collection of books to the Venetian State
Introduction
No full textPaper Heritage explores how people in Italy, France, and Spain collected and preserved various types of papers, including books, letters, drawings, engravings, and sheet music, from the late 16th to the 19th centuries. The contributors’ central focus is the relationship between social actors and their paper patrimonies. The collectors include Men of Letters, diplomats, physicians, polygraphs, theologians, university professors, mathematicians, legal scholars, clerics, entrepreneurs, nuns, philanthropists, female writers, and poets. By studying this wide range of individuals, with their unique cultural, social, and gender identities, we gain insight into the accumulation, valorisation, and transmission of their paper patrimonies. This book departs from most other studies on collecting by shifting the focus from collections and preserving institutions to the collectors themselves, their aspirations for their accumulated papers and considering the gender of the collectors. Covering three centuries, the contributions provide a comprehensive look at both the collectors’ aspirations and the post-transmission fate of these papers, shedding light on the scope of the collections and the various publics to whom the mise en scène of the papers was directed

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Paper Heritage in Italy, France, Spain and Beyond (16th to 19th Centuries): Collector Aspirations & Collection Destinies
No full textThis book takes a long-term approach, spanning from the end of the 16th to the end of the 19th centuries, to explore how men and women in Italy, France, and Spain collected, displayed, and passed down various types of papers. The contributors share a core interest in the relationship between social actors and their paper heritage. The collectors, who come from diverse cultural, social, and gender backgrounds, provide insights into the reasons and processes behind the accumulation, valorisation, and transmission of their paper heritage. Unlike most studies on collecting, this book shifts the focus away from collections and institutions to the owners of the collected objects and their desires for their accumulated papers. This volume covers three centuries and provides insights into the aspirations of collectors and the fate of their papers after transmission. It takes place against the backdrop of major social, political, and cultural changes affecting the Italian peninsula, the Spanish monarchy, and France. The cultural interests and the collector networks often extended beyond Europe, as noted by many of the essays in this volume. Paper Heritage in Italy, France, Spain and Beyond (16th to 19th Centuries) will interest scholars and students of Early Modern and Modern European History across various fields, including social and cultural history, intellectual history, gender history, history of collecting and patronage
