[56] See pp. 56-58.
[57] I am indebted to Johannes Vogt, Catalogus librorum rariorum (5th ed., Frankfurt a.M., 1793, p. 313) for these details. The reference to Groschufius is "Praefat. de Libris rarior. p. 16." This is the Nova librorum rariorum conlectio, qui vel integri inseruntur, vel adcurate recensentur (5 pts.; Halle, 1709-1716).

[59] For references to the use of Kalcoven's name by the Blaeus see Emil Weller, Die falschen und fingirten Druckorte (Leipzig, 1858), p. v and "Jost Kalcoven," Serapeum, XXVIII (1867), 303-304. The subject needs more investigation.
[60] For the Latin title see the "Bibliography" below.
[61] Palatium Apollonis ac Palladis, h. e. [hoc est] Descriptio praecipuarum bibliothecarum veteris et novique seculi. Louis Jacob undertook and completed a book on this subject; see the Traicté des plus belles bibliothèques (Paris, 1644).
[62] Mundus Marianus, hoc est: Specificatio omnium mundi locorum, in quibus B. Virgo Deipara miraculose colitur. This work and Dudinck's promised Synopsis bibliothecae Marianae were duplicated by Hippolytus Marraccius (1604-1675). His Bibliotheca Mariana (Rome, 1648) filled the place of the Synopsis. Marraccius, who gave his life to the service of the Virgin, tried vainly to find Dudinck's books. He said in 1648 of his search for the Mundus and Synopsis: "Illa etenim licet ardentissima concupitata, videre adhuc non meruit" (Bibliotheca Mariana, p. 813). If Marraccius, whose brother listed one hundred and fifteen works from his pen, published and unpublished, all dealing with the Virgin, could not find Dudinck's books soon after their supposed appearance, we cannot hope to be more successful. The Mundus Marianus is now replaced by E. M. Oettinger, Iconographia Mariana oder Versuch einer Literatur der wunderthätigen Marienbilder, geordnet nach alphabetischer Reihenfolge der Orte, in welchen sie verehrt werden (Leipzig, 1852). Only three fascicles of L. Clugnet, Bibliographie du culte local de la Vierge Marie. France (Paris, 1902-1903) were published.
[63] This publication in 1653 or, perhaps more correctly, 1652 explains why Labbé called the Bibliotheca bibliothecarum of 1664 a second edition. This designation confuses A. G. S. Josephson; see his Bibliographies of Bibliographies, p. 7. For the details of these publications see Augustin and Aloys de Backer and Carlos Sommervogel, Bibliothèque de la Compagnie de Jésus (nouvelle edition; Brussels, 1893), IV, cols. 1319-1320, No. 68 and cols. 1322-1323, No. 71.
[64] This and subsequent references will be found in the Bibliotheca bibliothecarum under the writer's Christian name. The pagination of the editions varies and a page reference would be useful for only one edition. I have usually made no effort to identify the authors and books, since the quotations concern Labbé's bibliographical technique and not the books.
[65] His name is often misspelled. He is the author of a famous catalogue of the Ingolstadt university library that employed a novel scheme of classification. All or almost all the references to Ferg and the catalogue have been made at second-hand. I have seen half a dozen different dates of publication. I believe it was never published. At any rate, the manuscript catalogue by Ferg was carried off in 1945 "by unknown persons in an unknown direction" from the place where the manuscripts belonging to the library of the University of Munich were stored.
