It will be a long-term work in progress. First, I’ll write down all content from the 3 volumes, then I’ll translate the text in english, then I’ll look for any digitized evidence of the books mentioned, embed a picture of the title page, correct, complete, update and add data. I’ve not included the many manuscripts mentioned in the 3 volumes, I’ll consider and list them separately later this year. Locations of books mentioned in the volumes are also not all included, since the work was published almost one-and-half century ago. For now I’ll stick to the 1880 term of H./L. books, then I’ll expand from that.]
