history was published in 3 vols. folio by Hieronymus Pez (Leipzig,
1721-1725) under the title _Scriptores rerum Austriacarum veteres et
genuini_, of which a new edition was printed at Regensburg in 1745, and

Vienna in 1793-1794. It was not, however, till the latter half of the 19th

at Vienna; the series, of which the first volume was publis
