Abstract:

The Marucelli's "Mare Magnum" is one of the most interesting and least studied bibliographic repertories in the world.
Thanks to an agreement between the SAGAS Department of the University of Florence and the Biblioteca Marucelliana, which holds the eighteenth-century manuscript, a series of studies by students of bibliography and the history of the book has brought to light the authors and printers cited by Marucelli. These data, checked against authority files, formed the basis of a massive insertion in wikidata, linking the "Mare Magnum" to its bibliographical content.
