Comprehensive authoritative bibliographies of the most popular fields of scholarship are characteristic products of the eighteenth century.[126] They began to appear in the last years of the seventeenth century, when Giulio Bartolocci (1613-1687) published the _Bibliotheca magna rabbinica_ (3 v.; 1675-1693) which Carlo Giuseppe Imbonati (d. after 1696) completed and provided with the supplementary _Bibliotheca latino-hebraica_ (1694). There are many standard bibliographies to set beside it. Barthélemy d'Herbelot [de Molainville] compiled the _Bibliothèque orientale_ in 1697, Johann Albert Fabricius published the first edition of the _Bibliotheca latina_ in the same year and continued with such larger and more important works as the _Bibliotheca mediae et infimae latinitatis_ (6 v.; 1734-1746) and his masterpiece, the _Bibliotheca graeca_ (14 v.; 1705-1728). In 1693 Ellies Du Pin published the first volume of the long theological bibliography that only his death was to interrupt. Many of these works were revised and enlarged during the next century and a half. The _Bibliothèque orientale_ was republished for the last time in 1781-1783. An edition of the even more successful _Bibliotheca latina_ was begun in 1773 and remained incomplete. The new edition of the _Bibliotheca graeca_ begun in 1790 was brought to an end, although the work was still incomplete, with an index published in 1838. Excellent bibliographies which are still worth consulting were written for every subject of particular interest to eighteenth-century scholars. J. C. Wolf published four thick volumes of a _Bibliotheca hebraea_ in 1715-1733. William Cave, who had begun his bibliographical activities in the seventeenth century, Jacques LeLong, and (after the middle of the century) J. G. Walch satisfied the demands of theologians. Langlet du Fresnoy, Johann Burkhard Mencken, and B. G. Struve compiled exhaustive lists of historical materials and investigations. The many bibliographies by Johann Albert Fabricius reviewed such subjects as church history, missions, and classical, Christian, Jewish, and heathen antiquities. In brief, the eighteenth-century scholar had on his shelves excellent bibliographies of the subjects that he found most interesting. However, he did not have any good guide to them in the form of a bibliography of bibliographies.[127] The only bibliography of bibliographies that can be dated in the eighteenth century has, as far as I know, disappeared entirely. It is a manuscript dated 1707 that was sold at Amsterdam in 1743. From the brief auctioneer's description we can infer that it resembled Labbé's _Bibliotheca bibliothecarum_ and was a continuation of that bibliographical tradition. I have been unable to learn anything about its author. The description is as follows: Bibliotheca Alphabetica à Carolo Moëtte collecta cum Indice Auctorum, Parisiis 1707. NB. Opus hoc propriè est Bibliotheca Bibliothecarum, MSS. ineditum.[128]
