    Languages eic., Marg. Moores Classified List of Works relating to the Study of English Palaeo- graphy and Diplomatic — um einige zu nennen — grope Hilfe zutetl werden lassen, so werden wir uns ber den Manuskripien, die aus neuzertlichen Bibliotheken stammen, noch nach anderen, weniger offenbaren Quellen und entlegeneren Hilfsmitteln wm- sehen miissen. Dte Biblio- Biblio- graphien vechne ich nicht dazu. Tvotzdem méchte ich hier eine Biblio- Bibliographie . erwahnen, die weniger bekannt geworden sein diirfte, weil sie erst vor kurzem erschienen ist.

It ts the shlendid Register of the Biblio- graplues of the English Language and Literature, edited by C. S. Northup with contributions by J.Q. Adams and A. Keogh and published in 1925 at New Haven. The manuscript section alone contains Ioo items, As to the less mantfest sources — referring to the above mentioned auction sales in England — I would like to mention the following: John Law- ler, Book Auctions in England in the r7th Century, London 1898.
