Summary/Abstract: Using bibliographical data from the major electronic German libraries’ catalogues for the editions of the works by Frane Petrić and the copies of these works, it is possible to arrive at results which probably cannot be obtained using other means and instruments. There are strong indicators that the pre20th century German reception of Petrić differs considerably from his reception elsewhere (especially in the U.K.). In this phase of reception the impact of the Discussiones peripateticae and the Militia romana is particularly conspicuous. The results for the impact of the 1953sqq editions of Petrić’s works are under many aspeets different from the results obtained for the earlier editions of his works. This is a preliminary case study for Germany, using data from the U.K. and from the AHCI database for comparisons.
