J.W. Holtrop's Monuments typographiques des Pays-Bas au quinzieme siecle appeared in 1868, and were followed in 1874 by M.F.A.G. Campbell's Annales de la typographie nierlandaise au XVe siecle, · both works were published by Martinus Nijhoff at The Hague. These two books marked an epoch at a time when incunabula were only beginning to be considered worthy objects of study. With some help from older bibliographies and catalogues, but mostly by person al inspection of the early editions, Campbell built up his Annales from the very foundations. Since then incunabula have attracted more and more attention, and thanks to international cooperation successful researches have been made about their printers, their contents and the location of copies. Consequently some hundreds of Low Country editions of the XVth century have been added to those listed by Campbell, and a new edition of his Annales is needed. Who will undertake this task? Were I twenty years . younger, I would certainly do so myself, and thus, after having been occupied with the Low Country post-incunabula for nearly forty years, return to the starting point of my bibliographical career.

Incunabula of the Low Countries (ILC) is a census of fifteenth-century books printed in the area of the present-day Netherlands and Belgium. It lists 2,229 editions in more than 14,300 copies preserved in hundreds of libraries, museums, and archives all over the world, but mainly in Europe and the USA. The entries for this census have been derived from the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC), the database of incunabula compiled at the British Library. They combine research on Low Countries incunabula carried out by Gerard van Thienen, curator at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague, with data assembled by ISTC form other sources. ISTC entries were further edited, indexed and prepared for publication by John Goldfinch at the British Library. Campbell's Annales of 1874, the first bibliography of incunabula printed in the Low Countries with 1794 entries, was followed by a number of supplements of increasing complexity, the most extensive being published by M.E. Kronenberg in 1956. All the former additions and emendations, together with additions not otherwise listed before are now brought together and included in one sequence in ILC.
