Abstract

The article discusses printed catalogues produced by the Oxford University Press between 1677 and 1720 when the publisher was located at the Sheldonian Theater in Oxford, England.

Booksellers located in Oxford during the period discussed include Moses Pitt, Peter Parker, and Thomas Guy. A compiled list of publications printed by the Oxford University Press during the period is presented.
