Enrico Narducci (12 November 1832 – 11 April 1893) was an Italian librarian, bibliographer and paleographer.
Enrico Narducci was born on November 12, 1832, in Rome. He studied at the Roman College and, in 1848, he became an infantry officer of the Roman Republic. His cousin Paolo was one of the first to be injured during the French attack of April 30, 1849.
After the reinstallment of the papal government, he came into contact with Baldassarre Boncompagni, a Roman prince, mathematician and historian of science, who entrusted him with the care of his library and introduced him to the study of paleography.
In the 1860s, he published in the monthly review Il Buonarroti the Discorso del modo di formare un catalogo universale delle biblioteche d'Italia. In 1867, Narducci published the work "Giunte all'opera Gli scrittori d'Italia" (letters A and B l) by Count Giammaria Mazzucchelli.
After the end of the papal government, he was entrusted with the management of the libraries of Rome. He proposed that all the Italian state libraries should have had a combined catalogue. To prove its possibility he compiled an article on Boccaccio, and showed at one view all the editions of that writer and the place where they are to be found.[1]
Narducci was also known as an editor of medieval philosophical writings. In 1859 he published the editio princeps of the treatise of Restoro d'Arezzo La composizione del mondo colle sue cascioni. In 1884 he published an edition of the first two parts of the Tractatus sphere of Bartholomew of Parma from the manuscript, Rome, Biblioteca Vittorio Emanuele (now Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale), Santa Croce, no. 228.
He died in Rome on April 11, 1893. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Turin, of the Italian Geographical Society and of the Accademia Galileiana of Padua.
