This essay proposes an overview of the digital tools designed and developed by the EMoBookTrade project team to investigate the economic and legal framework of the late Renaissance and early Baroque European book market. In particular it illustrates the structure of the two databases developed to cross-reference the evolution of book prices in conjunction with the development of the system of book privileges. The article proposes a model for users and developers interested in pursuing big-data-oriented investigations in the field of book history with a focus on the economy of the book market.
