Simply quoted as Hain (or by his initial H only), his work is the basic bibliography to which anyone working on fifteenth-century books refers or is referred to.

Part 2 of vol. II [of Hain's work] was published posthumously and has therefore certain gaps" (Breslauer & Folter 124). Besterman III, 5030-31; Bigmore & Wyman I, 296 ("one of the few indispensable books of reference for the literature of the fifteenth century"). A FINE SET, INCLUDING ALL OF THE PRINCIPAL SUPPLEMENTS.
