The work seeks to deepen critical epistemological-historical research in biobibliography, which still lacks greater investment in the contemporary informational debate. Exploresand highlight a history of biobibliography, based on the documentary materiality of these sources. Describesthe epistemic bibliographic and documentalist soils on which biobibliography is supported. Pointsout its socio-political effects and reflectson the potential of biobibliographic work in the contemporary world. This is critical epistemological-historical research based on a selection and exploration of documents classified as bibliographic between the 15th and 20th centuries. Elements and notions from Michel Foucault's archaeological-discursive procedures are used. Inspects some works recognized as biobibliographical and seeks to describe the discursive formations between these different artifacts. It proposes, in an experimental way, that biobibliography has worked historically, in the period studied, based on three distinct epistemic notions, selection, reference and measurement. From the artifacts presented, from the description of the historical functioning of the biobibliographic discourse, critical perspectives for the biobibliographic exercise are based. Biobibliography is the product of the action of representation and organization of people in a modern bibliographic culture of rationalization of the world, despite its historical-epistemic formation being of a positivist and hegemonic nature, it, biobibliography, can be invested with a critical character for representation of subordinated groups.
