Preface
Bracketed periods [·] are in the orginal. They occur whenever a catalog entry ends with an abbreviation (“Tom.”, “Vol.”, “papr.”); the final period was supplied by the editor in most of these entries.
Variations and inconsistencies match the original, including:
Variation between œ and oe, æ and ae.
Dashes and hyphens.
Spacing within entries in the Editio column.
Dots and ellipses.
