ANTONIO (Nic.) Bibliotheca Hispana Vetus et Nova, curâ Bayerii. 4 vols., folio. _Matriti: J. Ibarræ._ 1783-8.
"An excellent edition, the _Bibliotheca Vetus_ being enriched with notes by Perez Bayer, a learned Valencian, the _Bibliotheca Nova_ receiving additions from Antonio's own manuscripts, that bring down his notices of Spanish writers to the time of his death in 1684. In the earlier portion, embracing the names of about 1,300 authors, little remains to be desired. The latter portion contains notices of nearly 8,000 writers--it is a monument of industry, firmness, and fidelity. The two, taken together, constitute their author beyond all reasonable question, the father and founder of the literary history of his country."--TICKNOR, I. 218. Further details concerning this will be found in Dibdin's _Bibliomania_ and Sabin's _Dictionary_, Vol. I. 226-227. There are copies on large paper.
