Facsimile of an important work, still highly useful, originally published in Lisbon, 1926. It describes 1,312 sixteenth-century books printed in Portugal, with locations, collations and bibliographical references. Entries are by arranged printer; there are indexes of authors, titles and printing places. The paper of the original edition is highly acidic, and copies are beginning to decay; this facsimile edition is printed on much better quality paper, which will last much longer.
