[118] I have been unable to see any books by this author and have been unable to collect much information about them or the author. Groeningius announced a _Polyhistor bibliothecarius_ in 1700, which was to deal with law after the fashion of Morhof's "Polyhistor." He planned the _Fasti rei litterariae_ as a continuation of Morhof and published it in 1702 under the title of _Relationes rei publicae litterariae_, but this was only a sample of what he had in his mind. See J. F. Jugler (ed.), B. G. Struve, _Bibliotheca historiae litterariae selecta_ (Jena, 1754-1763), pp. 52-54. Petzholdt cites (p. 658) legal bibliographies by Groeningius and a _Bibliotheca universalis_, of which they formed a part. [119] The book is in two parts. The list of dictionaries in the second part will not be discussed here, but see a contemporary parallel cited by Léon Vallée (p. 268, No. 3145: Joh. Heumann) and earlier bibliographers of dictionaries as cited by Teissier. The preface (pp. 1-66) to the _Dissertation sur les bibliothèques_ is an account of ancient and modern libraries. I do not recommend it. An excellent survey of theological reference works in the preface to J. G. Walch, _Bibliotheca theologica selecta_ (Jena, 1757-1765) is sometimes called a list of books entitled _bibliotheca_. It contains many such books, but is not a list of them. [120] "Table alphabétique tant des Ouvrages publiés sous le titre de Bibliothèque; que des Catalogues imprimés des Cabinets de France & des Pays étrangers," pp. 67-156. [121] See pp. 75, 93-96, and 101-102, respectively. [122] See pp. 114-116. [123] See pp. 127-130. [124] A few examples will suffice. Bucardi (i.e., Burkhardi) Gotthelffi Struvii appears under the letter "B" (p. 81) and later ("Philosophique," p. 137) loses his family name. In the entry "Belgique" (p. 75) the third item is credited to "id." which refers back to Valerius Andreas, but the book meant is by J. F. Foppens, whose name does not appear at all. A line or more has dropped out at the bottom of p. 83. The dates of publication are unreliable: Borellus, 1754 should be 1654 (p. 78); Justinianus, 1712 should be 1612 (p. 117); and Lambecius, 1610 should be 1710 (p. 118). Labbé's _Bibliotheca bibliothecarum_ was printed in 1664, not 1674 (p. 118). [125] I note (p. 155) a reference to an article on universal bibliographies in the _Journal de Verdun_, February, 1749, p. 89. I have not verified the reference.
