PREFACE

This sixth volume of the Summary Catalogue describes the manuscripts acquired by the Library between July 1890 and December 1915. The accessions of each year are taken in turn, the arrangement within each year being (1) Western MSS. on parchment or paper in the alphabetical order of their pressmarks; (2) Greek and Latin papyri; (3) 'Western Inscriptions', chiefly Greek ostraka; (4) Oriental MSS. on parchment or paper; (5) Oriental papyri; .(6) Oriental Inscriptions, chiefly ostraka and cuneiform tablets. MSS. falling within the first of the above six groups are summarily described; all others are listed on a system of single-line entry. Although any further notice of the last three categories would be out of place in a Catalogue of Western MSS., it is permissible, before proceeding to the first, to characterize the second and third groups, that is the Greek and Latin MSS. on materials other than parchment or paper...
