Excerpt from Bulletin of the Medical Library Association, Vol. 3: Quarterly; April, 1914 At the instigation of the Prussian Minister of Education a Commission was organized in 1904 in Berlin, with one or two associates in other parts of the German Empire, in order to draw up a complete catalogue of all incunabula; not only in' Germany, butiin France and other countries, in fact throughout the world, and this Commission, having completed the work in Germany, is now asking the co-operation of libraries in other parts of the world: The German inventory has compiled titles; that means many more editions. They have already got the list of the incunabula in Austria; it is being formed in Russia and in Switzerland; in France it is. Being undertaken, and it has been completed already in Denmark. The extent of the work you may judge from the fact that so far they have definitely determined the location of copies of incuna bula, one-third in Prussia; one-third in Bavaria; and one - third in other German States; that means 'cop'ies, not editions} In Great Britain we were fortunate enough to have a visit a few months ago'from the Secretary of this Commission. He has stirred up interest there and the Bibliographical Society is undertaking the publication of all of the British incunabula and is preparing the census of the incunabula in the public and private libraries in Great, Britain. Fortunately it is already done for the British Museum and already done for the Bodleian, but there are some scores of public libraries rich in incunabula, and of these the catalogue will be made by the Prussian Commission.
