Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bibliotheca universalis (in four volumes, 1545 49) was the first truly comprehensive "universal" listing of all the books of the first century of printing. It was an alphabetical bibliography that listed all the known books printed in Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. The Swiss scholar Conrad Gesner started to compile this extensive work on Bibliotheca universalis at the age of 25. He first visited as many of the Italian and German libraries as he could find. He published the work in 1545, after some four years of research. It included his own bio-bibliography. His first edition of the Bibliotheca universalis listed about ten thousand titles. Bibliotheca universalis was the first modern bibliography of importance; through it, Gesner became known as the "father of bibliography." The work included approximately eighteen hundred authors. The authors'' forenames werelisted with a reverse index of their surnames. It was intended as an index by subject of all known authors. Gesner listed the writers alphabetically with the titles of their works. He added his own annotations, comments, and evaluations of the nature and merit of every entry
