The index to the first Italian edition of the architectural works of Vitruvius, printed in 1521, contains several notable features. The running heads alternate between the words Tabula and Index. Within the index there are rubrics for the first two letters of each alphabetic section (e.g. AL, AM). The locators point to the initial words of a section, as well as the leaf number. These section incipits are positioned after the main index headings; that is, as subheadings, preceded by paragraph markers. The index includes entries in the Greek alphabet, interfiled with Roman-alphabet entries as if they were transliterated. The index also functions as a glossary. Photographs illustrate these points.

I thoroughly enjoyed most of David Henige’s article, ‘Indexing: A User’s Perspective’ (JSP, July 2002, 230–247). His passionate and eloquent argument for the inclusion of good indexes in scholarly books is most welcome. That Henige also appears to understand the qualities of a proper index adds even more weight to his fascinating article. However, as a book author (Indexing Books, University of Chicago Press, 1994), a professional indexer (18 years), and former teacher of book indexing (15 years) I must take exception to Henige’s cavalier treatment of professional indexers. Henige writes (p. 234):

The involvement of advertisers in the development of internet search tools raises issues concerning the integrity of information access. Vested interests already intrude in selection and ranking techniques, and it would be incautious to assume that commercial interests will adhere to ideals of open and equal access. Government and publicly funded initiatives that afford opportunities for collaboration with the private sector provide alternatives to the commercial model of development.

This article proposes that indexing concepts relating to relevance, precision, recall, coextensiveness, exhaustivity, specificity and consistency offer a ready-made model that can be applied to the organization of research data. This knowledge organization model contributes significantly to the ability of researchers to collect and organize data in a manner most likely to shed light on the research problems they address.

Hundreds of thesauri are now available on the Web in either static or dynamic HTML formats, most as standalone products. Even though they have moved into a different environment, their nature and structure, and even their main functions, have remained the same. The article discusses the issue of whether the thesaurus can play a significant role in web-based information retrieval without evolving into a more flexible tool.

1. The earliest, historically, is most certainly by the 16thcentury ‘father of bibliography’, Conrad Gessner, hailed by Hans Wellisch as also the first compiler of multilingual and multiscript indexes (Wellisch, 1978). His Historia Animalium, published in five volumes from 1551 to 1554, included indexes to the names of four-footed animals in Latin, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, German, French, Spanish, English, Polish, Russian and Czech, all printed in separate sequences by language; the Greek and Hebrew names were shown in the original scripts, Arabic and Persian were partially transliterated, partially rendered in Hebrew letters. All entries were alphabetized letter by letter.
