At the end of the 17th century, two brothers, Francesco and Alessandro Marucelli, founded the Biblioteca Marucelliana, a public library which still exists in Florence, and tried to create a universal bibliography, called Mare Magnum: the work consisted of 111 volumes, but unfortunately was never published.
Mare Magnum wanted to be a mare (an ocean) of bibliographical information, compiled to help scientists and scholars from all over the word.
Today we have the internet, and Maremagnum is a shopping centre in Barcelona!
