To compile or create a bibliography; to describe or classify books in a systematic way.
From bibliography + -ize (Greek -izein, making it a verb). Created in the 19th century as scholars needed a word for the act of making bibliographies rather than just having them.
Bibliographizing is detective work—scholars track down every edition, translation, and printing of a book to understand how its ideas changed as it moved across countries and centuries.
