2 volumes in 3, cloth, edges tinted blue, 8vo, 30 cm, vii, [1], 679 pp with colour frontispiece, + [4], 760 pp + [2], 761-1480 pp. About 4,800 entries. The set comprises: Vol. I : Mss. written before 1650 A.D.; Vol. II [part one]: Mss. written after 1650 A.D. A-M [and part two] N-Z. From the foreword to Volume I: "The manuscripts described in this volume represent about fifteen per cent of the collection of Western manuscripts in the Wellcome Historical Medical Library. These 800 entries comprise about 1500 individual works which were written wholly or in part before the year 1650, the oldest being an Anglo- Saxon manuscript from about 1025 A.D. All but a few of them were acquired by the late Sir Henry Wellcome between 1896 and 1936, the year of his death. His object was to collect documents illustrating the development of medical and scientific thought rather than works of great artistic merit or beauty. That some of the manuscripts described here fall into this second category is more or less accidental and in this catalogue more attention is paid to the matter of a work than to the manner of its presentation. As a collection, it is still largely unexplored, although it provides a wealth of material for research in the history of science and medicine. The magnificent Apocalypse (No. 49), which was purchased at Sotheby's in 1935 and was on loan for several years to the British Museum, was studied by the late Fritz Saxl, who published a substantial account of its chief features, but many less spectacular manuscripts listed here may be equally important." Volume II describes more than 4,000 manuscripts written after 1650. Covers slightly rubbed and those of Volume I a little scuffed and marked, head of spine of Volume II Part One bumped, otherwise Very Good.
