(says Peignot) ever given for a
modern book." Consult his _Curiosites Bibliographiques_, pp.
62, 67; and _Bibl. Curieuse_, p. 61.----SARRAZ. _Bibliotheca
Sarraziana._ Hag. Com., 1715, 8vo. This catalogue, which is
frequently referred to by bibliographers, should not escape
the collector when he can obtain it for a few shillings. A
tolerably good preface or diatribe is prefixed, upon the
causes of the rarity of Books, but the volume itself is not
deserving of all the fine things in commendation of it which
are said in the _Bibl. Reiman_, pt. ii., p. 671,
&c.----SARTORI. _Catalogus Bibliographicus Librorum
Latinorum et Germanicorum in Bibliotheca Caesar. reg. et
equestris Academiae Theresianae extantium, cum accessionibus
originum typographicarum. Vindobonensium, et duobus
supplementis necnon, indice triplici, systematico,
bibliographico, et typographico; auctore Josepho de
Sartori._ Vindobonae, 1801-3, 4to. Vol. i., ii., iii. Of this
very curious and greatly-to-be-desired catalogue, which is
to be completed in eight volumes, it is said that only ONE
HUNDRED copies are struck off. Peignot has a long and
interesting notice of it in his _Bibliographie Curieuse_, p.
64.----SCHALBRUCK. _Bibliotheca Schalbruchiana; sive
Catalogus exquisitissimorum rarissimorumque librorum, quos
collegit Joh. Theod. Schalbruch._ Amst. 1723, 8vo. A very
fine collection of rare and curious books. From a priced
copy of the catalogue, accidentally seen, I find that some
of them produced rather large sums.----SCHWARTZ. _Catalogus
Librorum continens codd. MSS. et libros saeculo_ xv.
_impressos, quos possedit et notis recensuit A.G.
Schwarzius_, Altorf. 1769, 8vo. The name of Schwartz is so
respectable in the annals of bibliography that one cannot
help giving the present catalogue a place in one's
collection. According to _Bibl. Solger._, vol. iii., no.
1459, a first part (there said to be printed upon LARGE
PAPER) was published in 1753. Schwartz's treatise, "_De
Orig. Typog. Document. Primar._" Altorf, 1740, 4to., should
have been noticed at p. 41, ante.----SCRIVERIUS.
_Bibliothecae Scriverianae Catalogus_, Amst., 1663,
4to.--"exquisitissimus est: constat enim selectissimus
omnium facultatum et artium autoribus." This is the strong
recommendatory lan
