Bibliograph

/ˈbɪb.li.oʊ.ɡræf/ noun

Definition

A list or detailed record of books or other written materials, often organized by subject, author, or publication date.

Etymology

From Greek 'biblion' (book) plus 'graphia' (writing/description). It literally means 'writing about books' and evolved to mean the systematic catalog or recording of bibliographic information.

Kelly Says

Bibliographs are the skeleton keys to every good research paper—without them, we'd have no way to track how ideas build on each other across centuries of books!
