It is no light task to catalogue a collection of manuscripts as exten sive as that contained in the Arabic section of the Chester Beatty Library. As I look back on the years of work involved in preparing even the short descriptions which make up this and the preceding six volumes, I cannot conceal a sense of satisfaction, even of a certain relief, at having finally accomplished so heavy a labour. Yet this emotion, surely pardonable enough, is overwhelmed by the con tinuing and always sustaining feelings of wonder and excitement experienced in exploring a treasury so rich in rarities, so abundant in beauty, so various in interest. The two hundred plates included in these volumes are a substan tial indication of the wealth of autograph copies, of transcriptions by famous authors and scholars, and of masterpieces of calligraphy which go to make this collection unique. For all that, the Chester Beatty Library houses very many more Arabic manuscripts, not selected for illustration, of equal importance to those represented by the plates. Even so, these plates furnish materials for the study of Arabic handwriting, and for the identification of particular scripts, on a larger and wider scale than any assen1blage hitherto printed. It is intended to complete this Handlist with an eighth volume" now being compiled, which will contain comprehensive indexes of all the titles and authors of the manuscripts, as well as a repertory of the dated codices, and a list of the plates. I cannot conclude this work and these words without expressing, in phrases all too inadequate, my profound gratitude to Sir Chester Beatty for having entrusted this task to me, and having thereby furnished me with so much instruction and so much pleasure.
