Unlike the 16th century bibliography, this bibliography has four separate indexes: 1) authors, i.e., critics, editors, and commentators, and primary authors when the work is not listed under the author's alphabetic listing; 2) artists and musicians; 3) pen names or initialed names; and 4) subjects.
