  Ten years after the publication of the previous release, we present a new
edition of the Asiago Supernova Catalogue updated to December 31, 1998 and
containing data for 1447 supernovae and their parent galaxies\footnote{Tables 1
and 2 are only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to
cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via
http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html}. In addition to list the data for a
large number of new SNe, we made an effort to search the literature for new
information on past SNe as well. We also tried to update and homogenize the
data for the parent galaxies. To allow a global view of the Catalogue, a few
descriptive figures and a summary table is reported. The present Catalogue is
intended as a large and modern database for statistical studies on the
supernova phenomenon.
