Catalogue of Scandinavian Books in the British Library Printed Before 1801

This is the first time a major library has produced a catalogue that comprehensively records its holdings of early printed materials from all the Scandinavian countries.

Books printed elsewhere in the languages of Scandinavia are included.

The collection of over 11,000 items consists of books, periodicals and pamphlets, as well as maps and printed music.

The author catalogue, containing detailed descriptions, is supplemented by indexes of titles, printers and publishers, subjects and provenance.
