J. W. Holtrop's Monuments typographiques des Pays-Bas au quinzieme
siecle appeared in 1868, and were followed in 1874 by M. F. A. G.
Campbell's Annales de la typographie nierlandaise au XVe siecle,*
both works were published by Martinus Nijhoff at The Hague. These
two books marked an epoch at a time when incunabula were only
beginning to be considered worthy objects of study. With some help
from older bibliographies and catalogues, but mostly by person- al
inspection of the early editions, Campbell built up his Annales
from the very foundations. Since then incunabula have attracted
more and more attention, and thanks to international cooperation
successful researches have been made about their printers, their
contents and the location of copies. Consequently some hundreds of
Low Country editions of the XVth century have been added to those
listed by Campbell, and a new edition of his Annales is needed. Who
will undertake this task? Were I twenty years . younger, I would
certainly do so myself, and thus, after having been occupied with
the Low Country post-incunabula for nearly forty years, return to
the starting point of my bibliographical career.
