WEIGEL. Collectio Weigeliana: die Anfänge der Druckerkunst in Bild und
Schrift: an deren frühesten Erzeugnissen in der Weigelschen Sammlung
erläutert von T. O. Weigel und Dr. Ad. Zestermann. 2 vols., folio. 145
Facsimiles. _Leipzig: T. O. Weigel._ 1866.
Three hundred and twenty-five copies of this most important
publication were printed. A necessary companion to Sotheby's
_Principia Typographica_, but executed with infinitely more
critical sagacity and learning. Every distinguished collector of
books and prints and every public library must have this book as
the standard work of information and reference on the subject of
the History of Printing before the art of printing with movable
types was invented.

There is another edition, not by Paterson, which was suppressed.
Especially rich in the rarest books of early English literature.
