The 15cBOOKTRADE Project has prepared a VIDEO to illustrate its visualisation suite, 15cV, in action. The visualisation application uses live data from the databases Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI) and TEXT-inc: to date (June 2016) just over 8,500 editions in around 18,800 copies, owned by 9,000 different institutional or personal owners; data comes from incunabula held in 275 European and American libraries. More information on the project can be found at http://15cbooktrade.ox.ac.uk/

The Biblioteca Augusta of Perugia is one of the earliest public libraries in Italy, founded around 1582 by Prospero Podiani (1535-1615) whose knowledge and interest in the book market led him to create one of the largest collections of sixteenth-century Italy. About 300 incunabula were in the collection, according an inventory written right after Podiani's death. All editions identified with certainty (279), have been transferred into the database Material Evidence in Incunabula. This allows a richer and more complex representation of that portion of the collection and, more generally, of the methodology of the investigation.
