Jonathan Pindar's alphabetical catalogue of the University Library, c 1653-1658
Scope and Contents
Each page is divided by a ruled line into two columns, but only one column contains any writing. The quires are in sixes; most of the catchwords have been cut off in the binding. This is written out in a very clear distinct hand, probably by the librarian of the time. There are no books after 1673. ff. 369–377 contain the 'Bibliotheca Isaaci Pragensis,' the titles of the books written out in the order in which they were placed on the shelves, when this library was purchased by the University. This is followed by a list of 'Libri Rabbinici et oriental, ling. Script, in Bibliotheca veteri' and of 'Missalia, Officia, Liturg.' etc. This shows the Library as it was while the Lambeth books were still here, and before the Holdsworth, Lucas, and Hacket collections supplied their place.
