Material Evidence in Incunabula. MEI is a database specifically designed to record and search the material evidence (or copy specific, post-production evidence and provenance information) of 15th-century printed books: ownership, decoration, binding, manuscript annotations, stamps, prices, etc.
MEI is linked to the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC), provided by the British Library, from which it derives the bibliographical records, and it allows the user at last to combine searches of bibliographical records (extracted from ISTC) with copyspecific records. Uniquely, every element recorded (a certain style of decoration or binding, a manuscript note, etc.) is treated as a valuable clue for provenance, therefore it can be geographically located and chronologically dated.
Explicit ownership notes are further categorised as private or institutional, religious or lay, female or male, and by profession. Index possessorum incunabulorum [CERL] ProBok.
