Abstract from DBPedia
    Bibliography (from Ancient Greek: βιβλίον, romanized: biblion, lit. 'book' and -γραφία, -graphía, 'writing'), as a discipline, is traditionally the academic study of books as physical, cultural objects; in this sense, it is also known as bibliology (from Ancient Greek: -λογία, romanized: -logía). English author and bibliographer John Carter describes bibliography as a word having two senses: one, a list of books for further study or of works consulted by an author (or enumerative bibliography); the other one, applicable for collectors, is "the study of books as physical objects" and "the systematic description of books as objects" (or descriptive bibliography).

    書誌学(しょしがく、独: Bibliografie、英: bibliography)とは、書籍を対象とし、その形態・材料・用途・内容・成立の変遷等の事柄を科学的・実証的に研究する学問のことである。狭義では、個別の書籍を正確に記述した書誌に関する学問を指す。
