The last and largest of Haller's monumental bibliographies, this one cites 11,400 authors. Since only three of the four volumes had been published before Haller's death, Joachim D. Brandis (1762-1845) used Haller's notes to complete and edit the remaining volume. Haller's bibliographical achievements were remarkable and he may truly be credited as the founder of medical bibliography.
