Extract

Until comparatively recently, inventories which confined themselves to a mere listing of titles of works, were the only source available to characterize library holdings. With the advance of scientific research, however, the need for detailed manuscript catalogues has become ever more widely recognized. A multitude of facts, such as date, provenance (if it is at all possible to establish it), copyist, possessors, and so forth, are required for each manuscript.

3 I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the staff of the library, expecially to Dr. Anna Maria Giorgetti, for information given me through correspondence and for special permission to visit the library (while it was closed to the public), to use the inventory. and to examine some manuscripts. Dr. Giorgetti was kind enough to send me several pertinent microfilms, upon which this review article is chiefly based.Google Scholar
