IO 3 REVIEWS. Bibliographic der osterreichischen Drucke des xv. und xvi. Jahrhunderts. Herausgegeben von Dr. Eduard Langer. i. Band, i. Heft. Trient Wien Schrattenthal. 'Bearbeitet von Dr. Walther Dolch. Mit einem An hang, Aus der ersten Zeit des Wiener Buchdrucks, von Dr. Ignaz Sc/iwarz. pp. vii. iji,pl. iv. 1913. HIS is the first instalment of a work intended to supply c a systematic bib- liography of all the productions of Austrian printers in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,' and comprises the presses which began work in Inner Austria before 1501. That of Schrattenthal is included because, although the only book known to belong to it is dated as late as March, 1501, the worn condition of its woodcuts suggests they had been in use previously. Each press is dealt with under a separate sedlion, in which a short general intro- duction precedes the bibliography proper. The descriptions of the books are modelled on those in the Nachtrage zu Hain published by the German Incunabula Commission, and consist of copious transcripts of the title, colophon, etc., followed in a second paragraph by information as to size, num- ber of leaves, columns, lines and types, woodcut capitals, headlines, foliation and watermarks ; a final paragraph records the location of one or more copies, and gives references to Hain and other handbooks.
