Bibliotheca Latina mediae et infimae aetatis

The Bibliotheca Latina mediae et infimae aetatis was a significant work by the German classical scholar Johann Albert Fabricius. Published between 1734 and 1736, it provided a foundational survey of medieval Latin literature. Fabricius, recognized as the foremost bibliographer of the 18th century, compiled extensive lists of authors and their works, offering brief biographies and notes on editions and translations. This work was crucial for the emerging study of medieval Latin, a language that continued to be influential in Western scholarship even after the fall of the Roman Empire. Fabricius also authored other important bibliographical works, including the Bibliotheca Graeca and Bibliotheca antiquaria.12
