STRUVE, Burkhard Gotthelf.

Introductio in Notitiam Rei Litterariae et usum Bibliothecarum.

..cura Jo. Christiani Fischeri. Title in red & black with engraved vignette. 23, [1], 988, [65] pp.8vo, cont. sheep-backed marbled boards, flat spine gilt, orange lettering piece on spine. Frankfurt & Leipzig: H.L. Broener, 1754. Final and best edition of this important and successful survey of scholarship which was first published in 1704 and was enlarged and improved for the next three generations by a series of bibliographers such as Coler, Lilienthal, and Koehler. The present edition is the result of the complete revision of J.C. Fischer. In this edition, Fischer "kept the original title and followed the plan of adding footnotes containing new material and corrections. This expansion of the edition of 1729 is consequently somewhat difficult to use, since the original text is burdened with the notes of at least three commentators. The section devoted to catalogues of private libraries has become almost a bibliography of them and has lost its original selective character."­Taylor, Book Catalogues, p. 181. Fischer's edition is rivalled only by that of J.F. Jugler's revision of the 1729 edition of Struve. A very fine copy from the library of His Serene Highness Prince Fürstenberg at Donaueschingen.
