Description:
Alfredo Serrai in the volume Gabriel Naudé, Helluo Librorum, e l'Advis pour dresser une bibliothèque, publish the version from French to Italian of the first exposition of the Librarianship as a discipline, together with an ample introduction both historical and conceptual.

In such a vision of both the research and morality, the naudean philosophical principles can be properly situated in the frame of a mature preilluminism
