D. Marci
Bibliotheca Codicum Manuscriptorum Praeside Laurentio
Theopolo._ Venet. 1740, folio: _Ejusdem Latina et Italica
Bibliotheca Codicum Manuscriptorum Praeside eodem_, Venet.
1741, folio. These useful and handsomely executed volumes
should be found in every extensive philological
collection.----MEDICI-LORENZO. _Bibliothecae
Mediceo-Laurentianae et Palatinae Codicum Manuscriptorum
Orientalium Catalogus digessit S.E. Assemanus._ Florent.
1742, folio. A very valuable and splendid publication;
evincing the laudable ambition of the Medici in their
encouragement of oriental literature. The editor is
commended in the preface of the subsequent catalogue, p.
xxxxv.----MEDICI-LORENZO. _Bibliothecae Hebraico-Grecae
Florentinae sive Bibliothecae Mediceo-Laurentianae Catalogus ab
Antonio Maria Biscionio, &c., digestus atque editus_,
Florent., 1752, folio, two vols. in one. A grand book; full
of curious fac-similes of all sorts of things. It was begun
to be printed in 1752, but Biscioni's death, in May, 1756,
prevented the completion of the publication 'till May 1757.
See praefat., p. xxxxvii--and particularly the
colophon.----MEDICI-LORENZO. _Catalogus Codicum
Manuscriptorum, Graecorum, Latinorum, et Italicoram,
Bibliothecae Medicae Laurentianae: Angelus Maria Bandinus
recensuit, illustravit edidit._ Florent., 1764; 3 vols.,
1774; 5 vols., folio. An equally splendid work with the
preceding--and much more copious and erudite in regard to
intrinsically valuable matter. The indexes are excellent. No
extensive philological library should be without these
volumes--especially since the name of MEDICI has recently
become so popular, from the able biographical memoirs of the
family by Mr. Roscoe.----MENARSIANA. _Bibliotheca
Menarsiana; ou Catalogue de la Bibliotheque de feu Messire
Jean Jaques Charron, Chevalier Marquis de Menars_, &c. A La
Haye, 1720, 8vo. A very fine collection of books in all
branches of literature. After the "Ordo Venditionis," there
is an additional leaf pasted in, signifying that a
magnificent copy of Fust's bible of 1462, upon paper, would
be sold immediately after the theological MSS. in folio. It
brought the sum of 1200 florins. The sale commenced at nine
and at two; giving the buyers time to digest their
