Depuis l’efflorescence des musées au XIXe siècle, on croit souvent à tort que les bibliothèques se sont vidées de tous les objets qu’elles conservaient et qui, parfois, les encombraient. Il n’en est rien comme le montre à l’envi ce catalogue des instruments scientifiques de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, conçu et rédigé par l’éminent historien des sciences, Anthony Turner. Ce catalogue, qui recense et offre la description de cent trente-huit instruments, couvre les collections de trois départements de la BnF : le département des Cartes et plans, celui des Monnaies, médailles et antiques ainsi que la bibliothèque de l’Arsenal. Rédigées pour partie avec la coopération de Silke Ackerman et Taha Yasin Arslan, tous deux spécialistes des instruments islamiques, les notices apportent une description fine de chaque objet. Si quelques instruments étaient déjà connus et ont été de nombreuses fois exposés, la majeure partie d’entre eux étaient jusqu’à présent complètement ignorés tant des connaisseurs que du grand public. Parmi les pièces incontournables de la Bibliothèque figurent les astrolabes, sphères armillaires, cadrans solaires, calendriers, instruments de mesure et horloges réalisés par quelques-uns des grands fabricants de l’Antiquité au XIXe siècle. Parmi eux se trouvent de véritables pépites, parfois découvertes à l’occasion de cet inventaire. Ce florilège témoigne de la richesse et de la variété d’une collection engrangée sur plusieurs siècles qui atteste des efforts constants de l’humanité pour comprendre le monde et les lois qui le régissent.

This paper attempts to extend the range of countries covered by the IMF’s multilateral real exchange rate indexes based on relative unit labor costs (REER-ULCs) in manufacturing. A data set was assembled that permits calculation of REER-ULCs for 23 newly industrialized, developing, and transition countries in addition to the 21 industrial countries covered by the current system. Although the results are mostly quite encouraging, they should be considered preliminary because of uncertainty about the reliability and comparability of the underlying data. Also, unit labor costs are not available on as timely a basis as consumer price indexes (CPIs), especially for nonindustrial countries. Thus, the ULC-based indicators should supplement rather than replace the current CPI-based system.
