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.

  Sir Anthony Panizzi
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.
Panizzi had become a naturalized Englishman, but his devotion to the British Museum was rivalled by his devotion to his native land, and his personal influence with English Liberal statesmen enabled him often to promote her cause.

 Library Student Journal: Carlyle, Panizzi, and the Public Library Ideal.
Panizzi is better remembered in the field of library science, but Caryle's ideals live on in the London Library and in all public libraries today.
Despite Panizzi’s view, Carlyle was the first to recognize the need for a library—any library—to be democratic, and the roots of this go back to the beginning of his working life.
Panizzi’s actions earned Carlyle’s enmity because he clung to strict regulations which was advised against by prominent members of the library (that is, privileged) community.

 The Round Room Comes to an End
Antonio Panizzi, an Italian revolutionary who had been forced to flee his native Modena for permanent exile in England, was made keeper of printed books and then, in 1856, principal librarian.
Panizzi was an indefatigable worker, a man of remarkable energy and imagination, and he swept through the dusty, sinecure-ridden bureaucracy of the museum to launch a new catalogue, light a fire under dilatory workers and make space for both books and readers.
Panizzi's Round Reading Room, completed five years later, was crowned with a soaring space -- a dome whose diameter nearly equaled that of the Pantheon in Rome.

Antonio Panizzi was forced to defend his new cataloging rules before the Royal Commission.
Panizzi's 1841 Rules for Compilation of the Catalogue (of the British Museum) brought together all manifestations of a particular work though a single main-entry point.
In 1852, Charles C. Jewett, then the librarian of the Smithsonian Institution, wrote the first code of cataloging rules in the United States titled On the Construction of Catalogues Of Libraries and of a General Catalogue, and Their Publication by Means of Separate Stereotype Titles: With Rules and Examples.

 LIBRARY USERS & THE PROBLEMS OF AUTHORSHIP IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Panizzi refused to develop a subject classification scheme since he believed that the name of the author should form the basis for the arrangement of the catalog.
Panizzi’s rules continued to be used by the British Library, but they had been reduced to 41 rules by 1936.
Panizzi’s rules were published, however, evidencing the fact that librarians sought some uniformity from library to library so that the same book could be identified the same way in each library.

Francesco Berni's rifacimento, or recasting of "L'Orlando" appeared in 1542, and from that date till 1830, when Panizzi revived it, Boi8ardo's name was well-nigh forgotten.
A similar fate had befallen the count's "Rime" (Scandiano, 1499), which Panizzi's edition (London, 1835), snatched from oblivion.

This changed crucially with the work of Antonio Panizzi, beginning in the late 1830s.
Panizzi understood that the works represented in a collection exemplified a dense web of connections, particularly among authors and publishers.
Panizzi's rules, highly controversial at the time, addressed this lack and began the transformation of the catalog into an instrument of discovery.

That is great pity, because it is clear that from about 1840 when Panizzi’s career begun to take off, he worked to create a universal repository of knowledge in the British Museum.
There was no way Panizzi could employ enough cataloguers to cope with the influx.
While Panizzi was planning the future of knowledge and its availability in the British Museum, there was an obscure civil servant whose name I will now tell you: Albert Symons, who worked for 25 years in various ministries.

 Cataloguing Rules and Conceptual Models
Antonio Panizzi, keeper of printed books at the British Museum, was asked by the Board of Trustees to document the rules for cataloguing books collected by the Museum.
When he produced his "91 rules" in 1841, he documented this practice of using 'entries' and 'references.' At that time the primary entry element was the author's name when there was an author or the title when no author was known.
Panizzi's rules and the principle of authorship came to form the foundation of the Anglo-American cataloguing tradition.

When Panizzi became Keeper the collection of printed books numbered some 230,000 volumes and by 1871 was raised to almost a million.
The British Library, which was created in 1973 bringing together the collections of a few institutions, including the library departments of the British Museum, is the national research library of the UK and one of the largest libraries in the world.
We believe that in this union we will still follow the splendid work of our great predecessor, Sir Antonio Panizzi, and we will continue to acquire material, as widely as possible, in all the fields the collections are traditionally strong in for the benefit of current and future users.

 Corney, Bolton; COMMENTS ON THE EVIDENCE OF ANTONIO PANIZZI ESQUIRE BEFORE THE SELECT.
An edited transcript of Panizzi's testimony concerning the removal of the natural history collection along with three other collections from the British Museum, to make space for a growing number of books which the Museum was acquiring.
Bolton Corney had added his highly critical notes of Panizzi's testimony, which illuminate the stiff opposition, which was shared by many Englishmen at that time to Panizzi's tenure as principal librarian and leader of the Museum.
Cock-A-Hoop "A simple tale, as evanescent as the scent of wild thyme, into which Phyllis Hartnoll wove the mingled ecstasy and heart-break of young lover..." Exceptionally suited to illustration, the tale inspired John Buckland-Wright to create a series of large and brilliant copper engravings combined experimentally with aquatint." Very fine copy.
