Synopsis
Excerpt from An Index to the Early Printed Books in the British Museum, Vol. 2: MDI-MDXX; Section I. Germany
Other reasons have led to the publication of this section of the Index as a self-contained work. Though incomparably more easy and straightforward than the italian or french divisions are likely to be, it has occupied during four years the greater part of a constantly diminishing leisure; and the prospect of completing the other countries in any reasonable time is so small that it seemed undesirable to keep the german section back for several years in order to issue the whole at one time, as was done with the first part. The most notable disadvantage of the method which has been adopted is the exclusion of the german books printed at Basel or in austria-hungary, whether with or without imprint; and it must be constantly borne in mind by those who consult the Index that the absence from the following pages of a german book sine nota does not necessarily imply that it is wanting in the Museum collections.
