 This is the earliest catalogue of the Buchmesse in Leipzig, entitled: 'Catalogus novus omnium librorum, qui nundinis autumnalibus Francofurti ad Moenum et Lipsiae anno XCIIII. celebratis, noviter impreßi venales expositi fuerunt'. The catalogue lists the most important recently published works of the booksellers attending the fair. In 1595 there were 604 titles, not that much less than the 659 titles on offer at the Frankfurt fair.
