exaratorum._ Aug. Vindel., 1600, fol. Morhof informs us that
this catalogue, of which Hoeschelius was the compiler,
contains an account of some manuscripts which have never
been printed, as well as of some which Marcus Velserus
published. It is, moreover, full of precious bibliographical
matter; but unfortunately (the possessor of it may think
otherwise) only ONE HUNDRED COPIES were struck off.
_Polyhist. Literar._, vol. i., 211. I find, however, some
little difficulty about distinguishing this catalogue of the
Augsbourg library from the impression of 1633, fol., which
Vogt mentions at p. 323, and of which he also talks of 100
copies being printed. It should not be forgotten that
Hoeschelius published an admirable catalogue of the Greek
MSS. in the library of Augsbourg, 1595, and again 1605, in
4to. Colomies pronounces it a model in its way. _Bibl.
Choisie_, p. 194-5. The catalogue of the Greek MSS. in the
library of the Duke of Bavaria, at Munich, was published
about the same period; namely, in 1602: the compiler was a
skilful man, but he tells us, at the head of the catalogue,
that the MSS. were open to the inspection of every one who
had any work in hand, provided he were a _Roman Catholic_!
This was being very kind to protestants! _Jugemens des
Savans_, vol. ii., part i., p. 215, edit. 1725. See also
Vogt's _Catalog. Libror. Rarior._, p. 232.----AUGUSTANA.

Monasterii ad SS. Udalricum et Afram Augustae extantibus._
August, Vindel, 1788, 4to. This volume, which I have no
doubt would gratify the curious bibliographer, it has never
been my good fortune to meet with. It is here introduced
upon the authority of the _Cat. du Cardinal de Lomenie_,
no. 2647: ed. 1797. I ought not to close this account of
the Augsbourg catalogues of books, without remarking, on the
authority of Reimannus, that the _first_ published catalogue
of books is that which Villerius, a bookseller at Augsburg,
put forth in the year 1564. See the _Bibl. Acroam._, p.
5.----AURIVILLIUS. _Catalogus Bibliothecae quam collegerat

i. and ii., Upsal, 1787, 8vo. This catalogue contains a
