Besides a historical work- Geschichte des danischen Hofs von Christian II, bis Friedrich VII – he published his famous bibliographical work, Bibliographie biographique, ou dictionnaire de 26,000 ouvrages, relatifs a l'histoire de la vie publique et privee des hommes celebres de tons les temps et de toutes les nations : – Historisches Archiv, enthaltend ein systematisch – chronologisch geordnetes Verzeichniss von 17,000 der brauchbarsten Quellenzum Studium der Geschichte : – Moniteur des dates, contenant un million de renseignements biographiques, geneal. et historiques – a work which, as a biographicogenealogico-historical lexicon, is not only indispensable to librarians, historians, and bibliographers, but which at its first appearance was unanimously praised as a gigantic work of German industry and scholarship. Oettinger died June 26, 1872. A supplement to his Monitelur des dates is now published by Dr. H. Schramm, the biographer of Oettinger.
