Extract

A study of the history of alphabetizing, its origin, development and applications from the beginning in antiquity down to the time of printing has necessitated a search for pertinent medieval material. This material has not been easy to find. It has been necessary in the first place to ask in what connection one might reasonably expect to find alphabetic arrangement useful and then to try to find whether there are any actual examples of the use in such a conneetion.
