- Entries distinguish documented ownership from located copies and state the source attesting each status and grade.
Field notes
The catalog separates evidence of ownership from the later location of a surviving copy, and its entries provide a status, grade, and supporting source. For located volumes, it records identifying marks and shelfmarks, with links to institutional records and facsimiles when those are published. Its account of dispersal names routes through heirs and Jesuit collections while also noting gaps in the record.
