This year's annual conference on book trade history will trace individual copies and their movement in and out of collections and across international frontiers, exploring aspects of the history of provenance and book ownership.
Astrid C. Balsem is associate
curator of Special Collections in Amsterdam University Library. She
is currently working on a thesis on the Bibliotheca Vossiana, now in
Leiden University Library.
Dr Peter Beal FBA is author
of the Index of English Literary
Manuscripts 1450-1700 (1980-93), In Praise of Scribes:
Manuscripts and their Makers in Seventeenth-Century England
(1998) and of numerous articles in this field. For more than 25 years,
he was English Manuscripts Expert at Sotheby's, where he is now a consultant.
As a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of English Studies, University
of London, he is engaged in a five-year AHRC-funded project to compile
CELM (Catalogue of English Literary Manuscripts 1450-1700), a
database based partly on his earlier Index.
Pierre Delsaerdt teaches book
and library history at the universities of Antwerp and Leuven. His dissertation
on the book trade and private libraries at Leuven University was published
in 2001 (Suam Quisque Bibliothecam.
Boekhandel en particulier boekenbezit aan de oude Leuvense Universiteit,
16de-18de eeuw). He is president of the Flemish Working Group on
Book History (Vlaamse Werkgroep Boekgeschiedenis) and editor
of the Antwerp bibliographical journal De Gulden Passer.
Cristina Dondi was Lyell Research
Fellow in the History of the Early Modern Printed Book, University of
Oxford, 2002-2005, and is one of the editors of the recently published

history of printing in Italy in the fifteenth century and on liturgical
texts, both manuscript and printed.
Angela Nuovo teaches bibliography
and library science at the University of Udine. Her main research
is focused on the book trade and reading in the Italian Renaissance. Her most
recent monographs are Il commercio librario nell’Italia del Rinascimento
(2003) and, together with Christian Coppens, I Giolito e la stampa
nell’Italia del XVI secolo (2005). She is presently working on

private libraries in 16th-century Italy. She founded and still maintains
the web-site: Il libro antico
(http://web.uniud.it/libroantico/).
David Pearson is Director,
University of London Research Library Services, and has worked in various
academic and research libraries. He has published numerous books and
