First edition, small 4to., pp.viii,102,35 (Camden Society Members List and notes), uncut, decoratively blindstamped brown cloth, spine lettered and decorated in gilt; light toning to margins, wear at headband, with bruising to corners and lower edge of front board, light marking to cloth, a very good copy of this scarce volume. Orchard notes in his introduction that the Catalogue is valuable for the notices which it preserves of several middle-age treatises not now extant and that Dee was said to have expended the vast sum of £ 3000 on this collection. The diary, 1577-1601, is preceded by notes of nativities during 1554-75; the catalogue was made in 1573. The final section of the volume comprises Camden Society material including a Report of the council, Laws, and a full list of members.
