Neue Bucherei Bauten in Bayern. Munich: Bayerischen Staatlichen Bibliotheken, 1980. Pp. 96.

This booklet of 96 pages contains a substantial number of photographs, in color as well as in black and white, of the exterior and interior of some 40 different public libraries that have recently been built or remodeled in Bavaria. The majority of the photographs are interior views, but there are a number of exteriors also. Accompanying each set of photographs there are brief descrip- tions of the size and general functions of each institution. Although very few floor plans are shown, the illustrations present an interesting variety of interior furnishings, physical arrangements, the uses of color, methods for the accom- modation of audiovisual facilities, the handling of recent publications, illumina- tion, reading rooms, and other arrangements.

Bibliographisches Handbuch der Barockliteratur. Hundert Personalbibliographien deutscher Autoren des siebzehnten Jahrhunderts. 3 vols. Hiersemanns Bibliographis- chen Handbucher, vol. 3.

This is the definitive bibliography of the 100 major German authors of the seventeenth century and a major step toward a much-needed German short-title catalog of the period. For each author there is a short introductory biography, a list of modern editions (eighteenth to twentieth centuries), bibliographical sources for his works, critical and biographical works, a list of sources for additional secondary works, and, as the main part, a list of contemporary edi- tions in full bibliographical detail. All entries are annotated with references to bibliographical and other pertinent information. At the beginning of the first volume there is a list of abbreviations and technical terms, an extensive list of bibliographies cited (42 pp.), a list of funeral orations included in the latter, and a list of locations. Earlier bibliographies in the field, such as the third volume of Karl Goedeke's Grundriss zur Geschihte der deutschen Dihtung aus den Quellen (1859-82; vol. 3 appeared in 1867), and a few older inventories and catalogs of private collections such as Heyse, Maltzahn, and Manheimer (compiled by Wolfskehl) are still useful, but they need not be consulted for original editions of the authors represented here. It is significant that many of the great collections of German baroque literature were originally in private hands, notably the British Library (Maltzahn), the Berlin State Library (Heyse), Yale (von Facer du
