Chapter III: Preface (3)

Text size

First published _Hamburgi_, 1705-28. "This incomparable book will
always be esteemed as containing an interesting account of the
treasures of ancient learning, whether in print or manuscript; no
classical library can be deemed complete without it ... Fabricius
is, perhaps, unrivalled in variety of scholastic attainments, and
diligence and accuracy of research."--DIBDIN. For a list of his
other bibliographical works _see_ Petzholdt.
