Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, ccxiv, 597 pp, 8 pp of plates. From the prefatory note: "The Catalogus de libris autenticis et apocrifis by Henry of Kirkestede is a text that has held a near legendary place in the imaginations of English bibliographers for more than four centuries, so it is a remarkable fact that this volume should represent its first full edition. Henry of Kirkestede's Catalogus occupies a slightly anomalous place in the present series, for it is more a work of bibliography than a catalogue of shelved books. But it was part of Henry's method to record the presence of certain works in the libraries of which he had personal knowledge, and the editors have been able to assess where he was reporting on actual books."
