...Among these books are several valumes from the press of Peter Schoeffer, three or four from that of Mentelin at Strasburg, the representatives of those of Ulrich Zell, Arnold Terhoernen and Bartholomaeus de Unket at Cologne, Zainer and Sorg at Augsburg, Creussmer and Koburger at Nuremberg, of Bartolomeo di Cremona, Ratdolf, John of Cologne and Scotus at Venice, of Caxton and Wynkyn de Norde and Pynson and Berthelet in England and of many other famous presses throughout Europe. Especially represented among these early books are those which throw light upon the development of natural science. Such are the editions...
