“Dark Matter: X%” - how many early modern Hungarian books did disappear without any trace?
Estimating the unknown is always an interesting endeavour. There is a registry of surviving books, and we have collective knowledge about lost books, but how many early Hungarian printings have been lost without any historical trace? Mathematical models from the toolbox of biologists might help us to estimate it. Our research group has transformed the analytical bibliography "Régi Magyarországi Nyomtatványok" (Early Hungarian Printings) into database to enable the estimation. However the results of the estimation provides reasonable numbers, at the end the side effects of the research are as much important. The analysis of the database highlights unknown or less investigated areas and enables to extend previous research focusing on a particular time range to the whole period (such as religious trends during reformation and counter reformation, the changes of genres over times). The presentation ends up with other directions, such as analysis of literary groups and applicability to other analytical bibliographies.
About the Speakers:
Gábor Farkas Farkas is an expert of Early Printed Books at the National Széchényi Library. He conducts researches in manuscripts and early printed books studies especially history of libraries, and history of astronomy.
