Dr. Dibdin justly terms this work a "Standard authority on matters
of Biblical Literature." There is scarcely an edition of the Bible
extant in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, or Polyglots, but it is accurately
described, and all textual, as well as typographical variations,
pointed out; it is perhaps the most perfect Manual of Biblical
Bibliography extant. The first edition was _Parisiis._ 1709. 2
vols., 8vo.

This is perhaps the most laborious and most able bibliographical
work which has ever appeared. It is scarcely possible to find a
volume or a manuscript in any way connected with French history
which is not fully described, and it frequently gives curious
details respecting English historians. Brunet remarks "Cet ouvrage
et un des travaux les plus essentiels qu'ait produit la science
bibliographique, et il doit se trouver dans tous les Bibliothèques."
