VOGT, Johann.

Catalogus Historico-Criticus Librorum Rariorum...

One engraved headpiece. 16 p.l., 735, [1] pp. 8vo, attractive modern marbled boards (first two leaves a little ragged in blank margins, title carefully strengthened in gutter), red morocco lettering piece on spine. Hamburg: C. Herold, 1747. Third augmented edition of an important and early book on book collecting. There were several 18th-century German bibliographical compilations of rare books and this is the best known and most successful. It is based largely on catalogues of private libraries and is intended to serve both scholars and dealers. Vogt adds remarks about the rarity of each book and its nature. Archer Taylor considered this to be a forerunner of Brunet and Graesse and has pointed out that it still can give us valuable information. Good copy. Faint dampstaining. A4 Besterman 907. Taylor, Catalogues of Rare Books, pp. 17-19.
