ENG: The internet and digital technologies have generated a flood of texts and widespread worries about information overload. But this phenomenon is not unique to our age. Already centuries ago scholars complained about an overabundance of books, especially in the wake of the invention of printing in mid-15th century Europe. Blair studies the remedies that the learned devised to cope with that explosion of texts, notably by making summaries and excerpts which could be sorted and accessed in reference books. First she traces methods of information management back to antiquity and the middle ages and across cultures with long textual traditions such the Islamic and Chinese worlds. Then she focuses on the tools and practices in use in early modern Europe, such as note-taking, alphabetical indexing, thematic diagramming, and large scale compiling. The result combines intellectual history with book history to emphasize long continuities between past and present.
RUS: Интернет и цифровые технологии порождают необозримый поток текстов, что вызывает особенного типа тревожность — по поводу информационной перегрузки. Но это явление не является уникальным для нашей эпохи. Уже столетия назад — и особенно после изобретения книгопечатания в Европе в середине XV века — ученые жаловались на переизбыток книг. Энн Блэр исследует те средства, которые ученые прошлого придумывали, чтобы справиться с этим шквалом текстов. В своей работе она прослеживает методы управления информацией в античности и средневековье, в традиционных исламской и китайской культурах. Другим фокусом книги становятся инструменты и практики, использовавшиеся в Европе раннего нового времени. В результате интеллектуальная история в ее исследовании сочетается с историей книги, что позволяет подчеркнуть преемственность между прошлым и настоящим.
