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.

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.

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.
