Nomenclator scriptorum medicorum. Hoc est: elenchus eorum qui artem medicam suis scriptis illustrarunt, secundum locos communes ipsius medicinae, written by physician and bibliographer Israel Spach (Spachius), and published in Frankfurt in 1591 was the first attempt at a medical subject bibliography. It was arranged under very broad subject headings with indexes of authors and subjects.
