Reprint of the first edition published in 1910-1934. First four volumes limited to 150 sets. Very small reference number on endpapers and title pages. Corners slightly bumped, some foxing on edges, text is clean and bright. A good set.
The first four volumes, being SCRIPTORES ORDINIS PRAEDICATORUM, are a photomechanical reprint of the original Paris 1719-1723 edition, and published in the series "Burt Franklin Bibliography and Reference Series" volume 16, containing Volume 1, part I: to 1300 AD, 1-2: 1300-1499 AD, II-1: 1499-1639, II-2: 1640-1700. The rare "Supplementum novissimum" noted by Brunet is included in this reprint (no. 31615), which usually lacks in many sets. The next two volumes by Coulon and Papillon contain a continuation of this work, covering the period 1700-1750, and were originally published between 1909 and 1934.
This set remains the standard bibliography of the Dominican order: Charles Auth's four-volumes of xeroxes titled A Dominican Bibliography 1216-1992 (Washington 1986-1992) is restricted to works in English.
