BIBLIOTHECA HISPANA VETUS, SIVE HISPANORUM, QUI USQUAM UNQUAMVE SCRIPTO ALIQUID CONSIGNAVERUNT, NOTITIA.... First edition of a bibliography of Spanish authors to the year 1500, following Antonio's 1672 Bibliotheca Hispana Nova on later authors. Cited by Besterman as "not merely the biggest but the best national bibliography before the eighteenth century." According to Breslauer & Folter, Antonio "was perhaps the first scholar to devote himself full-time to bibliography."
