Abstract
SUMMARY The Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL) builds up a Thesaurus file for place names, printers and publishers, and persons as related to early printing (1450-ca. 1830). The paper explains the creation and logic of the CERL Thesaurus and its function relative to the Hand Press Book Database (HPB) and as a separate information tool for early printing. It also points to the general problem of standardization and authority files and gives indications about further developments of this Thesaurus.
