Con una premessa di Luigi G. G. Ricci. Il volume traccia un importante quadro della circolazione del libro nella Sardegna dei secoli VI-XVI. Il repertorio censisce e studia oltre seicento notizie di possesso e/o fruizione di libri, organizzate in schede, le quali, intestate a enti o persone fisiche e distribuite per località di pertinenza, presentano le principali informazioni storico-biografiche del possessore/fruitore, riflessioni di carattere culturale inerenti alle notizie librarie, l'edizione dei documenti, l'identificazione degli autori o delle opere citate, i riferimenti archivistici e l'eventuale bibliografia. Due appendici raccolgono le notizie relative ai possessori sardi residenti fuori dall'isola, nonché ai libri diretti in Sardegna.
Per mettere a punto questo strumento i curatori si sono mossi lungo due linee operative parallele: l'una, partendo dallo spoglio della bibliografia riguardante la storia culturale sarda, ha prodotto la catalogazione di buona parte dell'edito; l'altra, avviando una disamina sistematica della documentazione archivistica, ha portato all'individuazione e alla pubblicazione di numerose testimonianze inedite.
The volume paints an important picture of the circulation of books in Sardinia from the 6th to the 16th century.
The repertory surveys and studies over six hundred news items regarding the possession and/or use of books, organized into documentary records, which, being registered to organizations or individuals and distributed by locations of relevance, provide the main historical and biographical information regarding the owners/users, cultural considerations concerning book-related news, the editions of the documents themselves, the identification of the authors or the works cited, the archival references, and even bibliographies. Two appendices contain news items relating to Sardinian book-owners residing off the island, as well as books headed to Sardinia. In order to develop this tool, the editors have worked along two parallel lines: one has resulted in the cataloguing of a large portion of the published work, starting from the bare bibliography concerning the cultural history of Sardinia, and the other has led to the identification and publication of several original testimonies, by systematically examining the archival documents.
