Some Additions to Risse's Bibliographia Logica

Notes and Discussions SOME ADDITIONS TO RISSE'S Bibliographia Logica One of the greatest contributions to the history of logic in recent years was the publieation in 1965 of Wilhelm Risse's Bibliographia Logica, Vol. I, which covers the years from 1472 to 1800. However, despite the fact that Risse's monumental work lists an estimated 8,000 logical works, it is still far from comprehensive, as Mr. Hickman pointed out in an earlier article in this journal.1Why this should be the ease immediately becomes apparent when one starts to work in a library such as the Bodleian at Oxford with its handwritten catalogue of books printed before 19202 and its lack of any specialized bibliographies such as the British Museum has provided for early printed books. Even in well catalogued libraries such as the University Library at Cambridge it can be difficult to locate texts, and one often stumbles across a new logical work through the accident of its being bound in the same volume as better known works. As a result of my researches over the last few years, I have put together a list of works which do not appear in Risse in the hope that other historians of logic may benefit from my discoveries. I cannot, however, claim that I have exhausted the resources of the libraries which I have visited. Doubtless there are still not only new editions but new authors left to be discovered . The libraries consulted were the following: the University Library, Cambridge (Cu), the Bodleian Library, Oxford (Ob), the British Museum, London (Lbm), the Biblioth ~que Mazadne, Paris (Pro), the Biblioth~que nationale, Pads (Pbn), and the Biblioth ~que municipale, Srlestat (Sel).31 also include one book from the University of Aberdeen Library (Sa), though I have not visited Aberdeen in person. All books which I have not seen personally are marked with an asterisk. At the end of my additions to Risse I have appended a short list of bibliographical works which I found particularly helpful, and which may not be so well known as the British Museum publications. E.
