[36] A short title for the Pandectarum Veteris et Novi Testamenti libri XXII (Strassburg, 1532). There are other editions.
[37] "De Bibliothecis, id est, catalogus scriptorum ordine literarum; deinde etiam de locis librorum [,] custodia, insignibus, & structoribus eorum." A literal translation of the first two words would be "Concerning Bibliographies," or "On Bibliographies," but this does not seem to me to be current English style and I have preferred to give a modern idiomatic rendering here and elsewhere of titles in foreign languages. I have also quoted the original titles.
[38] Compare such modern works as Arnim Graesel, Grundzüge der Bibliothekslehre (Leipzig, 1890 and later eds.); Svend Dahl (ed.), Haandbog i Bibliotekskundskab (Copenhagen, 1912 and later eds.); Fritz Milkau (ed.), Handbuch der Bibliothekswissenschaft (Leipzig, 1931-1940).
[39] For Albertus Magnus see George Sarton, Introduction to the History of Science, II (Baltimore, 1937), 937 and Lynn Thorndike, A History of Magic and Experimental Science, II (New York, 1923), 692-717. The Speculum astronomiae, which Gesner has in mind, has also been ascribed to Roger Bacon, but this is probably an error.
[40] See an important article on sixteenth-century legal bibliography: Wilhelm Fuchs, "Die Anfänge der juristischen Bibliographie im 16. Jahrhundert," Archiv für Bibliographie, Buch- und Bibliothekswesen, II (1929), 44-54.
[41] These are bibliographies of Latin dialogues (a favorite Renaissance literary form for exposition and controversy), epistolographers, bilingual and multilingual dictionaries, Greek grammars, and Hebrew grammars.
[42] Spach knows only the editions of 1494 and 1531 and overlooks the largest and best edition of 1546.
[43] The date should be 1557. He does not know the first or the latest edition of this book.
[45] See "Joan. Castelli, Catal. officinae Goltzianae." For references to Hubert Goltzius, a famous printer at Bruges in the second half of the sixteenth century, see Adrien Baillet, Jugemens des savans (Amsterdam, 1725), V, ii, p. 66; Michael Maittaire, Annales typographicae (The Hague, 1719-1741), III, 568; H. Marcel, "Hubert Goltzius, éditeur et imprimeur," Annales de la Société d'émulation pour l'étude de l'histoire de la Flandre (Bruges), LXVIII (1925), 21-34. Spach also cites "Joan. Oporini, Exuviae," a publisher's catalogue that, like the Goltzius catalogue, often appears in lists of bibliographies; see J. W. Spargo, "Some Reference Books of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries," Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, XXXI (1937), 145. Book titles in quotation marks indicate books that I have not examined.
