This reference book examines the collection of the nearly three hundred pamphlets in early modern German and Latin from the earliest years of the Reformation. This bibliography provides not only the expected bookish details such as author, press, format, and collations, but also supplies descriptions of the contents and often even the circumstances which lead to the appearance of the individual imprints. English translations of all titles are also provided. Each title is followed by a summary of the text. An added feature which can be of considerable benefit to those interested in the history of the graphic arts and of printing are notices of graphically represented themes in the many woodcuts, some of which are reproduced in this book.

Rexine, 8vo, 23 cm, xix, 201 pp. From the introduction "The purpose and justification of this bibliography is to provide annotations which illustrate, exemplify, and sometimes quote from the contents of the pamphlets. At times the remarks on individual pamphlets take on the nature of a summary. A translation of every title is provided, enabling those minimally familiar with the vagaries and orthographic pecularities of early modern German (or humanist Latin) to ascertain at a glance the sense of the original. The presence of woodcuts is not only noticed, but the individual subjects of illustration are normally noted. In addition, bibliographical information is given in as complete a form as conceivable, short of nearly reproducing the whole. It is hoped that this type of work not only supplements the meager gleanings from some of the older god venerable bibliographies of the pamphlets, but also provides an enticing invitation to scholars everywhere into this fascinating world of multi-faceted and interdisciplinary research." Very Good. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-12387
