Excerpt from A Hand-List of the Muhammadan Manuscripts: Including All Those Written in the Arabic Character, Preserved in the Library of the University of Cambridge In the Introduction to my Catalogue of the Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the University of Cambridge, published by the University Press in 1896, I traced with some detail the history and growth of this department of our Library from 1625, when the munificence of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, secured for us the precious Erpenius collection, down to the date of publication, since which period we have acquired (mostly by purchase) about 140 MSS. written in the Arabic character. I do not deem it necessary to repeat in this place what I there set down on this head, and I shall therefore pass at once to other matters. The cataloguing of manuscripts, though one of the most useful tasks of the Orientalist, is at the same time one of the most irksome and tedious, especially in the case of a collection formed less by deliberate selection and purchase than by fortuitous gifts and bequests. When, therefore, I had completed my Persian Catalogue, and had realised how large a proportion of unselected manuscripts are practically devoid of worth or interest, I earnestly hoped that some one else, better qualified for such work than myself, would undertake the cataloguing of the remaining Muhammadan MSS., a task for which I felt but little inclination.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
