- Resum
- In 1926 the Bibliographical Society published the first edition of A Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland and Ireland and of English Books Printed Abroad, 1475-1640. Now universally known as "STC", it has become indispensable to historians, literary scholars, and bibliographers, whose work involves printed sources before the Civil War. The second part of this new revised and enlarged edition was the first to be published in 1976: volume I covering A-H completes the main text. It is followed by a third volume, containing the addenda that ten years of use have already produced, detailed indexes of printing and booksellers, with dates and places of business, concordance with other lists and catalogues, and other supplementary material. This third volume contains important material not found in the original edition of this catalogue of books printed in England, Scotland, and Ireland and of English books printed abroad between 1475 and 1640. It also contains addenda and corrigenda to the 1926 edition, and to the first two volumes of the second edition. It has headnotes giving each individual's dates of activity; supplementing and in many cases correcting information in the Bibliographical Society's Dictionaries of Printers; and listing addresses of British publishers in far more complete and accurate detail than available previously. There is a second index, entirely new, of places of printing other than London, including fictitious places. The addenda and corrigenda are cumulative, incorporating and occasionally revising those which appeared in the first two volumes of the revision. Information first appearing in the present volume is distinguished by a bullet and revisions of previous addenda by a second bullet so that users of "STC" may more easily annotate their copies of the first two volumes.
