Record details

Undated reissue, not the 1896 edition. The title page prints "Novello and Co Ltd, London W.1" and no year; the imprint leaf reads "Printed and bound in Great Britain by Novello and Company Limited, London W.1"; the preface is headed "Preface to the original edition" and signed "Oxford, 1896". The list of works consulted cites Grillet (Paris, 1901), Hill's Antonio Stradivari (London, 1902) and Lütgendorff (Frankfurt, 1904), and entries differ from the 1896 edition (Paquotte Frères adds "d. 1900"; Sprenger's "He is now established at Stuttgart" becomes "In 1870 he settled at Stuttgart"). archive.org catalogues this scan as 1890; that year is printed nowhere in the volume, so the date is given as n.d. Read from the OCR leaves on 2 September 2026. Kind, evidence grade and short form still to be completed by hand from the volume.

Rights basis
Public domain by hand: the same undated Novello & Co Ltd reissue of Stainer's 1896 A Dictionary of Violin Makers as a-dictionary-of-violin-makers-1890-cc3662 (BB_Sources::edition_key() already folds the two as one printing, both dated n.d.). Preface headed "Preface to the Original Edition", reprinting the 1896 preface verbatim; bibliography adds only Grillet 1901, Hill 1902 and Lutgendorff 1904 beyond 1896, nothing later. Same reasoning as its sibling record: a reissue of an already-published 1896 text with only pre-1905 additions and no new authored matter carries the original's own public-domain status. Assessed by hand, owner ruling 9 Sep 2026 (REVIEW.md), because source-basis.py had no second witness on disk.

What rests on this source

Everyone this source names

This document prints 1153 names. A name found this way is the weakest thing this site records: the book names the person, and nothing more is said. It is not a line in a record — the lines that actually rest on this source are listed above, each with its own confidence. 1033 of the names below reach a record on this site; lines from this source have been written for 577. The rest are names and nothing else — which is an honest description of the evidence, and an invitation: if you know one of these makers, we want to hear from you.
