Bibliography of bibliographies -- History
----. _Bibliographies of Bibliographies, chronologically arranged
with occasional notes and an index._ "Bibliographical Society of
Chicago. Contributions to Bibliography," No. 1. Chicago, 1901. Pp. 45.
Krüsike, Johannes Christophorus. _Vindemiarum litterarium specimen.
I. quo de re libraria universe agitur. Accedit appendix de scriptis
rei bibliothecariae adfectis. II. quo index scriptorum exhibetur,
qui de libris, illorumque scriptione, commentati sunt._ Hamburg,
1727-1731. Pp. 40; [6], 64.
Cited from Josephson, "Bibliographies," _The Bulletin of the
Bibliographical Society of America_, II (1910), 23; Vilhelm
Grundtvig, _Centralblatt für Bibliothekswesen_, XX (1903),
435. Although Josephson refers to a copy in the United
States, I have been unable to find it. Petzholdt's comment
(p. 443) shows that he misunderstands the nature of this
book. It is necessarily a very slight work because it is a
supplement to Johannes Andreas Schmid (Schmidt) and J. J.
Mader, _De bibliothecis atque virorum clarissimorum libelli
et commentationes_ (Helmstadt, 1702-1705). For the contents
of Schmid-Mader, which was the standard eighteenth-century
treatise on library science, see Peignot, _Répertoire_, pp.
34-35. Petzholdt does not mention it.
Labbé, Philip. _Bibliotheca bibliothecarum._ Paris, 1664. Pp. [32],
394. CU; ICN. Rouen, 1672. Pp. [32], 398. ICN. Rouen, 1678. Pp. 32,
398, 27. MH; Library of Archer Taylor. Leipzig, 1682. Pp. [72], 671,
38. ICN; Library of Archer Taylor.
Josephson suggests ("Bibliographies," II, 21-22) probably
correctly that the 1678 edition consists of the sheets of the
1672 edition with a new title page and John Selden's numismatic
bibliography.
----. _Novae bibliothecae specimen._ Paris, 1653. CU (positive
microfilm); ICN (positive microfilm); NN.
The tenth appendix (pp. 389-428) is entitled "Supplementorum
Novae bibliothecae, sive speciminis antiquarum lectionum,
coronis libraria. Hoc est, Bibliotheca bibliothecarum &
Catalogus catalogorum, nomenclatorum, indicum, elenchorum
&c. quibus scriptores in quavis arte ac professione
praecipui & libri ferme omnes, partim editi, partim inediti,
representantur."
Josephson seems to have confused this book with Labbé,
_Nova bibliotheca MSS. librorum_ (Paris, 1657); see his
"Bibliographies," II, 21.
----. _Sexdecim librorum initia._ Paris, 1662, 1664. CU, ICN.
Microfilms of both editions in both libraries.
This work consists of the first eight pages of ten
bibliographies on which Labbé was working and description of
six more. The pagination is necessarily not continuous.
_Literarisches Beiblatt zur Zeitschrift_ (later: _zum Jahrbuch_) _des
Deutschen Vereins für Buchwesen und Schrifttum_, I-XIII. Leipzig,
1924-1936.
