Bartholomaeus, 1778, 2 parts in 1 vol., 4to, cont. half calf, marb. paper on covers (sl. duststained), gilt ruled flat spine (rubbed), gilt red and green leather title labels, [12]-lxviii-114-[6] pp. (some foxing due to coarse paper). Good copy. First edition (2nd: Augsburg 1788-91) of the 1st study and bibliography of early printing at Augsburg. The study (part I) is the work of the Augsburg bookseller F.A.

Zapf (1747-1810) compiled the Augsburg bibliography 1466-1530, describing many incunables in the Buxheim monastic library and in Augsburg private collections. There are 2 useful additions: a list of books printed in Venice by the Augsburg printer Erhard Ratdolt, and a list of books printed by the Velser firm 1594-1614. engr. facs. and woodcut ills in text. 1 folding table.
