  Sir Anthony Panizzi - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
SIR ANTHONY PANIZZI (1797-1879), English librarian, was born at Brescello, in the duchy of Modena, Italy, on the 16th of September 1797.
Panizzi's principal contributions to its inquiries with regard to the library were an enormous mass of statistics respecting foreign libraries, and some admirable evidence on the catalogue of printed books then in contemplation.
Panizzi cast his eye on the empty quadrangle enclosed by the museum buildings, and conceived the daring idea of occupying it with a central cupola too distant, and adjacent galleries too low, to obstruct the inner windows of the original edifice.

 Anthony Panizzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panizzi never forgot the slight and when Carlyle, then working on the biography of Cromwell, requested the use of a private room at the library for his researches, the request was predictably denied.
Panizzi was a personal friend of British Prime minister Lord Palmerston and William Gladstone, conducted an active correspondence with Sardinian Prime Minister Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, and through French archaeologist and writer Prosper Merimee, was well acquainted with French Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie.
Panizzi died in London on April 8, 1869 and was buried in the Kensal Green Catholic Cemetery, not far from the resting places of William Makepeace Thackeray and Anthony Trollope.

 Sir Anthony Panizzi
Boiardo's fame had been eclipsed for three centuries by the adaptation of Berni; and it is highly to the honor of Panizzi to have redeemed him from oblivion and restored to Italy one of the very best of her narrative poets.
During his tenure of this post a great improvement was effected in the condition of the museum staff by the recognition of the institution as a branch of the civil service, and the decision was taken (under the influence of Sir Richard Owen) to remove the natural history collections to Kensington.
Throughout the revolutionary movements of 1848-49, and again during the campaign of 1859 and the subsequent transactions due to the union of Naples to the kingdom of upper Italy, Panizzi was in constant communication with the Italian patriots and their confidential representative with the English ministers.

Panizzi as a ‘Great Man’ The ‘great men’ theory of leadership espoused by Carlyle in the nineteenth century proposes that a leader is an archetypal “hero” whose physical attributes, excellence of character and natural talent and skill determine his status as a leader.
Panizzi has been, that, while he was a strict and inflexible disciplinarian in his management of the Library, he exercised oftentimes a gentle and even tender consideration towards those who were his subordinates, that produced in them a feeling not only of admiration but also of affectionate respect.
Panizzi’s idealistic theories about cataloging were in many respects new to his contemporaries, and his insistence on the highest standards seemed annoyingly complicated to less ambitious librarians and less involved outsiders.

 FRBR and Fundamental Cataloguing Rules
Sir Anthony Panizzi (1787-1879) was a pioneering English librarian whose 91 rules for the British Museum's catalogue, "Rules for the Compilation of the Catalogue", are "considered to be the first major cataloguing code" (Chan 34).
On a larger scale, Panizzi's work "remains generally valid and relevant to the present discussion of the question of whether the catalog should be a 'finding list' or a 'reference tool.' For in this argument Panizzi has laid the cornerstone for the modern catalog" (Lubetzky 1956 175).
To the newcomer their ideas seem so natural that they do not describe how a catalogue should work, but rather how it does work, and how all catalogues work, and one that did not would be a poor and strange one indeed.

As a temporary measure 153 handwritten volumes, maintained by Anthony Panizzi and his staff, ennumerating about 80,000 of the library's 600,000 books, had been placed in the Reading Room.
Bohn ridicules some of the principles of cataloguing, such as the inconvenient grouping of publications of universities and societies under 'Academies' rather than author, and the endless cross-referencing of German names under 'von', occupying no less than 110 pages.
Bohn had fallen out with Panizzi over copyright in 1852, but he was a man of great energy and practical ability, and his criticisms are largely just.

 Cataloging
Abstract: This paper discusses the development of descriptive cataloging from 1830 to 1908 and focuses on the careers of Antonio Panizzi, Charles Coffin Jewett, and Charles Ami Cutter and the development of the American Library Association (ALA) and the Library Association of the United Kingdom (LAUK).
It analyzes the various rules and codes put forth by both Americans and British librarians and the eventual cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom.
Abstract: The well-known 91 rules of the 1841 British Museum catalog, adopted in July 1839, had an ancestor in a draft of 73 rules from March 1839, a document that might be called the original rules of Anthony Panizzi.

 [EMLS 5.2 (September, 1999]: 9.1-9 Review of Sir Robert Cotton as Collector
Indeed, his willingness to share items in his keeping resulted in some losses, a peril to which any collection not strictly policed is exposed (even today); given two catastrophic fires as well (Ashburnham House, 1731, and Sir Anthony Panizzi's House, 1865) it is remarkable that so much has survived.
Given to the care of Sir Thomas Cotton (his son), and then to that of Sir John Cotton (Sir Robert's grandson), the material was left as a gift to the country by the latter, and the manuscript work represents a major treasure within the British Library's present holdings.
Here, too, is a really vivid outline of the efforts of Sir Frederic Madden in his attempt to assess the collection and to ascertain its needs, of his terrible setback with the Panizzi house fire (with more damage), his resignation, and the more recent work with respect to conservation.

FRBR is a conceptual model for how bibliographic databases might be structured, considering what functions bibliographic records should fulfill in an era when card catalogs are databases with unique possibilities.
In some ways FRBR clarifies certain cataloging practices that librarians have been using for over 160 years, since Sir Anthony Panizzi, Keeper of the Printed Books at the British Museum, introduced a set of 91 rules to catalog the print collections of the museum.
Sir Anthony believed that patrons should be able to find a particular work by looking in the catalog, that all of an author’s works should be retrievable, and that all editions of a work should be assembled together.

I had a library director named Arms Akimbo being interviewed by Anthony Panizzi.
And the supposed newsletter in which the "article" appeared was "Panem et Circenses" -- the Latin for "bread and circuses." I intended it all as an amusement, and as a "thought piece," since I believe that as a profession we no longer have clarity, nor agreement, on the mission of the public library.
