¶ "One of the finest systematic bibliographies ever compiled. It is not a mere enumeration of titles, but a work of scholarship, displaying at once erudition, critical faculty, and painstaking accuracy. Taking scope and detailed treatment into consideration Petzholdt's Bibliotheca can never be surpassed in its own filed" (Besterman). "Das klassische Werk der deutschen Bibliographie" (Schneider). Some leaves age-toned, notoriously difficult to obtain in collectible condition.
