ANTONIO (Nic.) Bibliotheca Hispana Vetus et Nova, curâ Bayerii. 4
vols., folio. _Matriti: J. Ibarræ._ 1783-8.
"An excellent edition, the _Bibliotheca Vetus_ being enriched with
notes by Perez Bayer, a learned Valencian, the _Bibliotheca Nova_
receiving additions from Antonio's own manuscripts, that bring down
his notices of Spanish writers to the time of his death in 1684. In
the earlier portion, embracing the names of about 1,300 authors,
little remains to be desired. The latter portion contains notices
of nearly 8,000 writers--it is a monument of industry, firmness,
and fidelity. The two, taken together, constitute their author
beyond all reasonable question, the father and founder of the
literary history of his country."--TICKNOR, I. 218. Further details
concerning this will be found in Dibdin's _Bibliomania_ and Sabin's
_Dictionary_, Vol. I. 226-227. There are copies on large paper.
