A search of the Hebrew manuscripts and incunabula in the Vatican Library and other large Judaica collections yielded many dictionaries and citation indexes but almost no subject indexes, although the latter are common in Latin Christian manuscripts and incunabula. Reasons for this are suggested, and the compilation of early indexes for religious purposes is discussed. General conclusions relate to the methodological and terminological difficulties of conducting research on the earliest...

Writings on the subject of back-of-the-book indexing in the late nineteenth century leave one with the distinct impression that indexes at the backs of books were something of a rarity at that time. This article suggests that writers on the subject may have actually been appropriating a technology that had by that point in time become fairly standard.

"The ability to find relevant materials in large document collections is a fundamental component of legal research. The emergence of large machine-readable collections of legal materials has stimulated research aimed at improving the quality of the tools used to access these collections. Important research has been conducted within the traditional information retrieval, the artificial intelligence, and the legal communities with varying degrees of interaction between these groups. This...

Examination of nearly a thousand books printed before 1500 has revealed indexes, some printed, some manuscript, in 83 of them, enabling some conclusions to be made on late medieval indexing policy and practice. The likelihood of indexing in particular subject areas; whether the index {or registrum or tabula) is explained; and the structure of the indexes, are among topics covered. The vagaries of primitive alphabetization are outlined, and an attempt is made to assess quality. Some of the...

This book first arose out of a passage in Borges, out of the laughter that shattered, as I read the passage, all the familiarlandmarksof my thought-our thought, the thought that bears the stamp of our age and our geography-breaking up all the ordered surfaces and all the planes with which we are accustomed to tame the wild profusion of existing things, and continuing long afterwards to disturb and threaten with collapse our age-old distinction between the Same and the Other. This passage...

L'article traite deux sujets principaux : les techniques d'indexation juridique utilisées dans les documents imprimés et les effets de la technologie de l'information sur l'indexation juridique. L'auteur discute de deux techniques utilisées en indexation juridique, soit la méthode ou les sujets sont entrés directement dans une séquence alphabétique avec très peu de sous-catégories (et aucune sous-catégorie aux sous-catégories), et la méthode d'un minime nombre de mots-clés sans séquence...

Canada has a long and noble legal tradition, a reflection of the two cultures and traditions, English and French, which are the foundations of her nationhood. Now Canada has a legal literature index which is both worthy and expressive of these traditions. Indeed, the Index to Canadian Legal Literature/Index a la documentation juridique au Canada, published by Carswell, is in many ways like the country whose legal literature it documents. Like Canada, it is bilingual, giving equality of...

When Christopher Columbus Langdell stated that the library was the laboratory of the law and that law books were the "stuff" of legal research, he was stating a proposition that was not only descriptive but prescriptive. 'From the late nineteenth century, the development of the American legal system can be seen as a history of the development of forms of legal publication. This history poses the question whether the forms of publication have been mere vehicles for the transmission of legal...

The proposition that event taxonomies have a "basic" level was tested. In the first two tasks of the experiment, taxonomically related event categories were elicited. Nine taxonomies were constructed from subjects’ responses on these tasks. In the third task, subjects listed attributes for events categories from the three levels of abstraction of these taxonomies. A single, common level of abstraction (the basic level) was identified. Subjects listed significantly more attributes for basic...

This paper deals primarily with computer-assisted legal research. It attempts to sketch the current state of the art, mainly in the United States and Canada, with special reference to systems oriented towards the processing of legislative data. The author suggests a checklist of the main requirements the systems of the 80's will have to answer to, in order to fulfill the growing needs of the new computer-minded generations of law graduates.
