Commonplace Book
Need to research. My current understanding is that it was a type of journal kept by people to record passages (Excerpts) from other people's works, sort of a personal reading history. Plus other personal thoughts (notebook).

I've heard this referred to as daybook (or if we like, Day Book). I named mine FavoriteQuotations just to be clear. --JohnAbbe
