INTRODUCTION.
The total number of manuscripts written in the Arabic
character which are preserved in the Cambridge Uni-
versity Library amounts to nearly fourteen hundred ,
of which some 340, or, roughly speaking, one quarter,
are written wholly or partly in the Persian Language.
These manuscripts, with the exception of a few com-
prised in a class called "Christian Oriental", are com-
mingled together on the shelves without regard to
language or subject, arranged according to size and
class-mark only. When, therefore, I undertook to make
a Catalogue of the Persian MSS., my first business was
to submit the entire contents of these shelves , whether
Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Pushtu, Hindustani, or Malay,
to a preliminary examination , and to draw up , for my
own use, a rough list of the whole collection. From this
I next constructed a hand-catalogue (comprising more
than 50 pages of 25 lines each), wherein the manu-
scripts were arranged according to class-marks. Each
page of this hand-list I divided into six vertical columns,
of which the first contained the class-marks in proper
order; the second, an indication of the language or
languages in which each manuscript was written; the
third , notes of the source (where ascertainable) whence
they came into our possession ; the fourth and fifth ,
titles and authorship; and the sixth, the position of
each volume on the shelves. Only when this preliminary
labour was accomplished could I actually begin to pre-
&
X INTRODUCTION.
pare the work which I now , after four years of arduous
though intermittent toil, submit, with no small diffi-
dence, and a deep consciousness of imperfection, to
the judgement of my fellow-Orientalists. If my task
has taught me nothing else , it has at least taught me
to appreciate at something like their true value the
labours of my predecessors, who have smoothed my
path and guided my steps , and whose works , constantly
referred to in the following pages, were ever at my
elbow.
To tell the history of our University Library, or
even to attempt to trace the formation of the manu-
script-collections which it contains, is no part of my
duty, and I need only refer those who seek for infor-
mation on this subject to the admirable articles con-
tributed by Henry Bradshaw to the Cambridge Univer-
sity Gazette in February and March, 1869, and reprin-
ted at pp. 181 — 205 of his Collected Papers. Of the
formation of our collection of Oriental manuscripts, or,
more precisely, of that portion of it which is written
in the Arabic character, it is, however, incumbent upon
me to give such account as the meagre records avail-
able have enabled me to compile. It might seem that
there should be no great difficulty in determining at
least the immediate source of the various bequests and
donations of MSS. which have entered the Library,
but unfortunately the existing records are scanty, in-
termittent, and often lacking in the precision needed
for the certain identification of the books enumerated
in them. This , however , is a slight evil compared to
the wholesale alteration of class-marks which took place
about the middle of last century. "Nothing", says Henry
Bradshaw [loc. land., p. 203), "could be more disgrace-
ful than the way the manuscripts were literally shovelled
into their places. No regard was paid to subject, none
to the collection from which they came , none even to
the size of the volumes; they were all put upon the
INTRODUCTION. XI
shelves just as they happened to have been brought
into the room , and so stufifed away. When this was
done , a catalogue was made which certainly does some
credit to the compiler, though the Oriental manuscripts
fared but badly ; such descriptions as 'Thin , perhaps
Turkish', or 'Liber mutilus' being allowed to pass
without comment". The present class-marks of our Orien-
tal manuscripts represent , therefore , not the careful ,
orderly arrangement of the seventeenth century, but
the formless , fortuitous chaos of the eighteenth ; and ,
worst of all , the older class-marks were in many cases
erased or destroyed. Hence from the present class-marks
of the older MSS. (Dd., Ec, Ff., etc., up to Oo)
nothing which is calculated to elucidate their history
can be deduced. Thus the Erpenius MSS. bought for
the Library by George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham,
in 1625 , and presented to the University by his widow
in 1632 '), are variously marked Dd., Ec, Ff., Gg.,
li , LI , and Mm., each of which classes contains other
MSS. from quite different sources, such as the collec-
tion presented by Nicolas Hobart in 1655, and the
Royal Gift of Bishop Moore's books in 17 15. The class-
mark Qq. is assigned exclusively to the Burckhardt
MSS. (300 in number, of which nearly all are Arabic),
and it is only when we reach the Additional MSS.
that the numbers begin to represent an approximately
chronological sequence of acquisition. In the Numerical
Index at the end of this volume I have indicated the
sources whence the MSS. were derived , so far as I
have been able to ascertain them; and I here note, in
chronological order, the chief bequests and donations
of which any record exists.

old Petsian Commentary o?i the Qur'a/i in the Journal of the Royal
Asiatic Society for 1894, pp. 417 — 422.
XIl INTRODUCTION.
[1632]
I. The Erpenius MSS., given to the Library in
1632 by Catherine, widow of George ViUiers, Duke of
Buckingham, formed the nucleus of our Oriental col-
lection, nor have I been able to satisfy myself that
our Library possessed before that date more than one
or two Aluhammadan manuscripts '). This munificent gift
came at a particularly appropriate time, inasmuch as
the Chair of Arabic at Cambridge was founded by Sir
Thomas Adams in the same year, and bestowed on
that eminent scholar Abraham Wheelock, who, together
with the Professorship of Arabic , held the offices of
Reader in Anglo-Saxon and University Librarian , to
which last he was appointed in 1629 *). Of the Erpenius
1) In a Catalogue of Books in the University Library made in 1574
[MS. 31. I. 5 in Registraiy] mention is made of a Hebrew Pentateuch
with Arabic and Persian glosses. In another Catalogue of 1582 [MS,
31. I. 6. 10] mention is again made of it, and of two other books
likewise given by Theodore Beza, which, according to a foot-note,
were taken out of the Library in 1588 by Dr. Nevyle , Vicechancellor,
and Dr. Perne , sent to the Lord Treasurer , and , apparently , never
returned. „Qud in re vidcrint qiioruvi inter est''\ adds the scribe. Amongst
the benefactions to the Libraiy in 1631 [MS. 31. 2. 9] is mentioned
the gift of a copy of the Qui-'' an in Arabic by William Bedwell , who
was afterwards (in 1640) enrolled in the list of benefactors for present-
ing his Arabic Lexicon (now marked Hh. 5. i — 7, and Hh. 6. I — 2).
2) "We have often heard, that his Grace had bought in the Low
Countiyes the Librarie of Mr. Erpenius, Professor of the Orientall
Tongues, in the universitie of Leyden, with intention to bestow the
said Librarie upon the University of Cambridge: in which are thought
to be many good monuments of note, especially in the Arabick and
Orientall Languages ; that your Grace would be pleased , out of your
noble disposition , to adorn and enrich our universitie with this Trea-
sure; this is our boldnes to petition to your Grace at this time. And
now of late it hath pleased God, to stirr us up this favour by others,
that a liberall yearly stipend for an Arabick Professor is bestowed upon
our University , there wanteth now but matter and store of Bookes to
encourage and cherish this new studdy amongst us." [Baker MSS. 33,
p. 214 et seq.^ Letter from the University to the Duchess of Buckingham].
INTRODUCTION. XIII
MSS. we possess not only the printed list appended to
Gerard Vossius' funeral oration on Erpenius , delivered
on Nov. 15, 1624, and published at Leyden in the fol-
lowing year, but also another contemporary list con-
tained in a manuscript Catalogus librorum qnos habet
BibliotJieca Public a AcademicB Cantabrigiensis , which com-
prises 90 written leaves of entries extending from 1632
to 1 7 18. This manuscript Catalogue, referred to in the
printed Catalogue of Manuscripts (Cambridge, 1856-^ —
1867) by the class-mark E B. Q. 12 which it then bore,
is now called Oo. 7.52; and this change of class-mark
so effectually concealed its identity that its re-discovery
was only effected a few days ago. Notes in the older
MSS. frequently refer to it as the "Catalogue of Bene-
factors". The first entry (pp. i — 3) which it contains is
the Duke of Buckingham's gift; and, since the identi-
fication of the Erpenius MSS. is a matter of conside-
rable interest to all Orientalists , I trust that I may be
pardoned for printing this list in full , with the addition
of the present class-marks, and the corresponding des-
criptions given by Vossius in his Catalogus librorum
Orientaliuin , qui in bibliotheca Erpeniana exstant.
These additions are distinguished from the text of the
original list by being enclosed in square brackets. The
modern class-marks, printed in heavy type, follow those
originally assigned to the MSS. on their arrival at Cam-
bridge ; and the descriptions of Vossius (abridged, in
some cases, to save space) are italicised.
