‎The most complete bibliography on 16th-centu- ry French literary history, in a scholarly enlarged edition to which has been added a discourse on the progress of letters in France by the French savant Rigoley de Juvigny, d. 1788. Unsurpassed bio-bibli- ographical dictionary. The first French national bib- liography was published in 1584 by Francois Grude de la Croix du Maine and contained a.o. an au- to-bibliography of several hundred works on French history of which none has survived, earning Grude in some quarters the title of impostor; also, the plan for a French Royal Library - this was to be arranged in bookcases according to a classification by num- bers. The second French bibliography was published by Antoine du Verdier in 1585 less than a year later. Both works were considered complimentary to such an extent that even after almost two hundred years they were combined in a single edition, much en- larged and corrected by Rigoley de Juvigny.
