The paper proposes the study of Bibliotheca Universalis of Conrad Gessner through the typology of information sources used by the author in its composition and its bibliographical representation in relation to written culture available at the time. On that basis, the paper proposes to measure the degree of 'universality' of the work in view of the desired goal and the instruments at their disposal. For this, it prepares a route review of the sources used by Gesner ranging from publishing catalogs, library catalogs, and also actual references, sources obtained, most often over trips made by the author. Stands thus in the reconstruction of this Gesner route research, the relevance of his bibliographic project, based on the principle of recording the written heritage, to classify it and identify what still needed to be made public. It develops also a discussion that aims to show affinities and parallels between the needs of a 'semantic' construction information in our times and the actuality of Gesnerian method therefore.
