These bibliographic histories seem not at all influenced or perturbed by recent historiographic trends away from positivistic presentation of evidence more or less for its own sake. Peter Beal writes about the "dispersal and rediscovery" of manuscripts in very general terms. David Pearson asks what we can "learn by tracking multiple copies of books" with results that are more suggestive for future work than successful here. The volume starts to come alive with Angelo Nuovo's discussion of the fate of the library created by Renaissance Humanist Gian Vincenzo Pinelli. Astrid C. Balsem traces the whereabouts of books from another major 16th century private collection. Jos van Heel follows the creation and dispersal of a large collection created by the Meerman family. Dondi looks at all the surviving copies of some15th century Italian Book of the Hours. And Pierre Delsaerdt follows important parts of the collection of Gustave van Havre into public collections in Antwerp. All the articles are exhaustively footnoted.

"Movements of books, both as individual volumes and as collections, have sometimes covered long distances across many centuries. Subject to the vagaries of war, shipwreck and personal ruin, as well as the intervention of the book trade and of collectors, the travels of books often have an intricately detailed and compelling story to tell. One of the most active areas of current research in book history is concerned with interpreting the clues from individual copies and piecing together the documentary evidence to provide this narrative."
"In this volume, leading specialists in book history consider examples from the sixteenth to the twentieth century to chart some of the paths followed by books through the European network of print. This may focus on the large collections accumulated by Renaissance scholars, but may equally involve tracking multiple copies of the same work through the marks of ownership left by unknown readers. Books on the Move Represents an important contribution to an understanding of the shifting interactions over time between libraries, collectors and the book trade."--BOOK JACKET.
