He has now presented to the Library his entire personal collection amounting to over 1,000 books and 600 volumes of periodicals (Dept of Printed Books). His Welsh interests are represented by some 400 literary texts, studies, novels, essays, and poetry, mainly belonging to the twentieth century. As may be expected for one so eminently known in the fields of classical and papyrological studies, Sir Idris's collection of books and periodicals in these subjects forms an exceptionally fine acquisition of which the Library can be justly proud. The section concerned with papyrology is equal to any of the other notable specialist libraries acquired in the past, and Sir Idris may rest assured that every effort will be made to develop it by the acquisition of new material. From the wealth of texts and studies contained in the collection it is difficult to select items for particular mention but the following will give some indication of the general quality: sets of the Oxyrhynchus papyri; Publicazioni della Società Italiana per la ricerca dei Papiri greci e latini in Egitto; Munchener Beitrage zur Papyrus forschung und antiken Rechts geschichte; Michigan Papyri. Schweich Lectures; Corpus Papyrorum Judaicarum. Studia hellenistica; Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri; The Codex Alexandrinus in reduced facsimile .. . (London, 1915); The Tebtanis Papyri edited by B. P. Grefell, A. S. Hunt and J. G. Smyly (London, 1902); Grammatik der Griechischen papyri . . . by Edwin Mayser (Berlin, 1938); Apokrimata: decisions of Septimus Severus on legal matters ... by W. L.

Kraemer (Princeton, 1958); Mizraim: the Journal of Papyrology . . . Other well known papyrologists whose works are included are Carl Wessely, Ernst Kornemann, Paul M. Meyer, Peter Jernstedt, Gregor Zereteli, O. Krueger, Joseph Bidez, Franz Camount, Fritz M. Heichelheim, Ulrich Kahrstedt, Claire Préaux, Wilhelm Schubart, Ulrich Wilcken, and Karl Preisendanz. It is interesting to note the number of books presented by their authors to Sir Idris as a mark of their affection and gratitude.
