See More... Stillwell, Margaret Bingham THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD OF BOOKS, 1450 TO 1470: A CHRONOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TEXTS CHOSEN FOR PRINTING DURING THE FIRST TWENTY YEARS OF THE PRINTING ART.
WITH SYNOPSIS OF THE GUTENBERG DOCUMENTS New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1972 7 x 9.5 inches hardcover 140 pages
According to the Preface, for a hundred years or more, the bibliographical scholars of the world have sought to identify the man of genius who, in the mid-fifteenth century, changed the course of civilization by introducing the art of printing into the Western World. Our knowledge of Gutenberg and his claim rests upon two factors: a series of documents in manuscript that range from 1420 to the settling of his estate in 1468. These, however, fail to give conclusive support to his claim as the inventor of printing, although presenting, in the early records, an occasional and vague reference to printing, paper, ink, a press, and "four pieces" which Theodore Low DeVinne, Dr. Otto W. Fuhrmann and others have identified as the parts of a type-casting mould. The second factor consists of tributes to Gutenberg by his contemporaries and their successors, which specifically name him as the inventor of printing in statements which appeared in printed books issued during the years 1470-1499. Stillwell's work contains a bibliography of 215 of the first printed documents described as "Books and Broadsides 1450-1470," along with supplementary sections and notes on the Gutenberg documents.

Nieuwkoop HES & DE GRAAF 1999 6.5 x 9.5 inches cloth 696 pages
Incunabula of the Low Countries (ILC) is a census of fifteenth-century books printed in the area of the present-day Netherlands and Belgium. It lists 2,229 editions in more than 14,300 copies preserved in hundreds of libraries, museums, and archives all over the world, but mainly in Europe and the USA. The entries for this census have been derived from the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC), the database of incunabula compiled at the British Library. They combine research on Low Countries incunabula carried out by Gerard van Thienen, curator at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague, with data assembled by ISTC form other sources. ISTC entries were further edited, indexed and prepared for publication by John Goldfinch at the British Library. Campbell's Annales of 1874, the first bibliography of incunabula printed in the Low Countries with 1794 entries, was followed by a number of supplements of increasing complexity, the most extensive being published by M.E. Kronenberg in 1956. All the former additions and emendations, together with additions not otherwise listed before are now brought together and included in one sequence in ILC.

New York The Grolier Club 1968 7 x 10 inches hardcover 62 pages
This book presents fifty-five works from England's first printers including William Caxton, Schoolmaster Printer, Theodoricus Rood, the Eponymous Press, and others. William Caxton, England's first printer and a savvy business man whose books were thoroughly enjoyed, is represented by fifteen examples of his work. By the time of his death, his works had established the character of modern English. With three of their publications represented here, St. Albans press, or "schoolmaster printer", was the first in England to print in more than one color. In addition, the printer of Siege of Rhodes, Julian Notary, and the Honorable Sir Arthur Howard are also showcased. All the books presented in this catalogue display the cross between English printing and publishing on the threshold of Elizabethan literature.

Arranged by printer, the order follows that of Robert Proctor in An Index of Early Printed Books in the British Museum. Collations, provenance, and imperfections are noted, and eight pages of plates and a list of authorities are cited. It was produced to accompany the exhibition held at the Grolier Club from January 17 to March 3, 1968. Works are from the collection of Paul Mellon.

See More... (Virgil) Kallendorf, Craig A CATALOGUE OF THE JUNIUS SPENCER MORGAN COLLECTION OF VIRGIL IN THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2009 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 544 pages
The Junius Spencer Morgan collection at Princeton University consists of over 700 titles (totaling around 900 volumes) of editions of the Roman poet Virgil (70-19 BC), in Latin and in various vernacular languages. Technically the collection includes items ranging from the first printed edition (Rome, 1469) to the present, but the focus is strongly on material published in the early modern period.

This collection was formed by Junius Spencer Morgan, the nephew of the financier J. P. Morgan. Morgan's interest in Virgil was undoubtedly encouraged during his student days at Princeton and reflects his efforts to obtain the best copies he could find of items noteworthy for their scholarship, their illustrations, or their place in publishing history. The result is one of the largest collections of early printed editions of Virgil in the world, a collection whose balance and integrity make it the proper beginning place for research in this field. Given Virgil's central place in western education during the early centuries of printing, the catalogue of the Morgan collection should be of interest to art historians, cultural historians, and historians of education as well as classicists and specialists in printing history and the history of the book. This handsomely-produced volume includes close to fifty full-page color illustrations from the collection.

Craig Kallendorf received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, and is Professor of Classics and English and Cornerstone Faculty Fellow at Texas A&M University. His recent books include two Oxford monographs on Virgil: Virgil and the Myth of Venice: Books and Readers in Renaissance Italy (1999) and The Other Virgil: Subversive Readings of the Aeneid in Early Modern Culture (2007), along with bibliographies of early Italian printed editions of Virgil and of the Aldine collection at the University of Texas. For Oak Knoll Press, he has co-edited The Books of Venice / Il libro veneziano (2009) and is working on a complete bibliography of the pre-1850 printed editions of Virgil.
