The REBIUN Bibliographic Heritage Group has presented its latest collaborative work Bibliographic Manuscripts in REBIUN Libraries. The document has been published in open access to the Rebiun repository, within the Estudios e informes collection.

This catalog aims to collect those manuscripts that allow studying and delving into the history of university libraries. Documents that are an essential source for research in the formation of university collections, as well as the different situations that have affected them.

The work contains five hundred and fifty records that include catalogs, indexes, inventories, lists of foundational lots, donations, legacies or purchases, and inventories of private libraries that have been kept in university libraries throughout its history.

The Universitat de València has contributed 111 documents, among which are the book relationships of the Convent of Carme, the catalogs of San Miquel de los Reyes, the Convent of Montesa or the Convent of San Francesc, as well as numerous inventories of donations: Mariano Liñán and Morelló, Vicente Alonso, Salvador de Perellós y Lanuza, Francisco Carbonell, Francisco Borrull y Villanova, Luis Gonzaga Gascó Albert, Giner Rabassa de Perellós (Marqués de Dos Aguas), Domingo Mascarós y Segarra, Vicente Hernández Máñez, Onofre Soler or Vicente Daudier .

Likewise, we must highlight, among others, the 1897 manuscript with the list of works in the Duque de Osuna library Catálogo de las obras que existen en la Biblioteca Universitaria y Provincial de Valencia procedentes de la Biblioteca del Duque de Osuna  and the manuscript 947, from 1525, with the inventory of Fernando de Aragón, Duke of Calabria.
