BM copy examined pages cropped, probable reading supplied v INTRODUCTION This catalogue, of the books printed between 1500 and 1599 in the Library of the School. of Oriental and African. Studies, is an attempt to list in some detail works previously recorded only by a brief author entry in. the main catalogue A. large proportion of these books came originally from the collection of the French orientalist, Gaston Auboyneau., who concerned himself with Turkish history and, the Eastern Nediterranean; this collection was acquired by the School dari:ag the Session 1948-9.The remainder came from three main sources. the oriental collection of the London Institution, the library of 'William Harsden (presented to King's College London, in 1835 and later transferred by the College to the :School.) and the library of Sir ThomasArnold. The catalogue may be of use to historians of the Orient, particularly those whose field is Middle Eastern history, in bringing together l.Ieste:rn source material describing European attitudes to the East in. the sixteenth Century, and in tracing the development of the study of oriental history vi in Europe,These studies are as yet In their infancy.I The books are listed chronologically; ,,)here possible approximate dates and. pr.in.curs being assigned to undated works.Author headings are based on those of the British Museum. '11,1h.ere a work is listed in, one of the British. Museum short-title catalogues its call. nurnbe:r:r is given for easy reference and for comparison of holdings. When BM copies have been examined, an asterisk is affixed, to the call. numbers, otherwise no detailed. comparison has been made.febe:r's Voyages and travels in the Near East before 1 801 and Gollner's Turcica9 I, have also been used for purposes of comparison., but both should.: be approached. with caution.. Unfortunately, it was not possible in the time available to ;?4.ve a full. description. of each work, but the compromise abbreviated quasi-facsimile method adopted should be sufficiently detailed for purposes o identification. Arabic and Hebrew books are transliterated 1 See Lach:Asia in the making of Eu_ for a, full treatment. vii. and. separately listed in short-title form at the end, of the catalogue. Different sizes of capitals are not shown, nor are diphthongs, different forms of Gothic r and d, or long s. All swash letters are treated as Italic and, tailed letters are ignored. Compartments, borders and devices are noted 'but not described or identified. Wherever possible type-ornaments have been reproduced as printed. The actual page measurement in millimetres is given as a general guide to size.Descriptions consist of (a) transcription of title-page, (b) t.r..an- scription of colophon; Italic and Gothic type, and line-endings being shown in both cases, (c) format, (d) collation by signatures and pagination, (e) page measurement, (f) errors in signing and pagination, (g) notes of inserted maps or engravings and imperfections, (h) SOAS shelf-mark and. BM call number (if applicable). Indexes. All references are to the number of the item. There are four indexes: I. Ind.ex of printers under towns where they were active: (Dates are not given as the SOAS collection is not representative enough of the viii output of each printer.The dates can. to ascertained. (except in the case of France and Spain) from the BE short-title catalogues). II.Alphabetical index of printers. III. Alphabetical index of authors. IV. Title index for anonymous works. I shall be glad to hear of any additions, corrections or supplementary notes to this catalogue, so that they may be incorporated. in a future edition. L.E.F.
