TL;DR: Blair as mentioned in this paper examines methods of information management in ancient and medieval Europe as well as the Islamic world and China, then focuses particular attention on the organization, composition, and reception of Latin reference books in print in early modern Europe.
Abstract: The flood of information brought to us by advancing technology is often accompanied by a distressing sense of 'information overload', yet this experience is not unique to modern times. In fact, says Ann Blair in this intriguing book, the invention of the printing press and the ensuing abundance of books provoked sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European scholars to register complaints very similar to our own. The author examines methods of information management in ancient and medieval Europe as well as the Islamic world and China, then focuses particular attention on the organization, composition, and reception of Latin reference books in print in early modern Europe. She explores in detail the sophisticated and sometimes idiosyncratic techniques that scholars and readers developed in an era of new technology and exploding information.

TL;DR: In a previous work as discussed by the authors, we have presented a lista de la cosas que han acaecido en las Indias, desde su maravilloso descubrimiento and del principio que a ellas fueron espanoles para estar tiempo alguno, and despues, en el proceso adelante hasta los dias de agora, han sido tan admirables y tan no creibles en todo genero a quien no las vido, que pare
Abstract: Todas las cosas que han acaecido en las Indias, desde su maravilloso descubrimiento y del principio que a ellas fueron espanoles para estar tiempo alguno, y despues, en el proceso adelante hasta los dias de agora, han sido tan admirables y tan no creibles en todo genero a quien no las vido, que parece haber anublado y puesto silencio y bastantes a poner olvido a todas cuantas por hazanosas que fuesen en los siglos pasados se vieron y oyeron en el mundo. Entre estas son las matanzas y estragos de gentes inocentes y despoblaciones de pueblos, provincias y reinos que en ella se han perpetrado, y que todas las otras no de menor espanto. Las unas y las otras refiriendo a diversas personas que no las sabian, y el obispo don fray Bartolome de las Casas o Casaus, la vez que vino a la corte despues de fraile a informar al Emperador nuestro senor (como quien todas bien visto habia), y causando a los oyentes con la relacion de ellas una manera de extasis y suspension de animos, fue rogado e importunado que de estas postreras pusiese algunas con brevedad por escripto. El lo hizo, y viendo algunos anos despues muchos insensibles hombres que la cobdicia y ambicion ha hecho degenerar del ser hombres, y sus facinorosas obras traido en reprobado sentido, que no contentos con las traiciones y maldades que han cometido, despoblando con exquisitas especies de crueldad aquel orbe, importunaban al rey por licencia y auctoridad para tornarlas a cometer y otras peores (si peores pudiesen ser), acordo presentar esta suma, de lo que cerca de esto escribio, al Principe nuestro senor, para que Su Alteza fuese en que se les denegase; y pareciole cosa conveniente ponella en molde, porque Su Alteza la leyese con mas facilidad. Y esta es la razon del siguiente epitome, o brevisima relacion.
