Renaissance Rhetoric Short-Title Catalogue, 1460-1700

Green and Murphy, who admit to nothing more than being in California, provide a list of printed works on rhetorical theory in Europe and America published between the onset of printing and 1700. They say the catalogue provides a much larger list of works than previous references, and more reliable publishing data than any other single printed or online source. The arrangement is alphabetical by author. A comprehensive index would be as large as this volume, and they intend to get to that someday. The first edition seems to be Murphy's 1981 Renaissance Rhetoric: A Short-Title Catalogue . . . Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
