SL-.CK_M^ HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OF 93455 INTRODUCTION. Lists of technical terms and abbreviations have been in- cluded in manuals of bibliography, books on the art of book- binding; and books v/ritten for the aid of book- collectors . To put a careful selection of these terras and abbreviations, taken from various sources, into one list, whicxi may be of assistance to librarians and catalogers, as well as to book lovers, is the endeavor here made, hov/ever imperfect its exe- cution may be. The only attempt at originality has been to make the list as simple and as easy to use as possible. The abbreviations Dutch French G German GR Greek I Italian L Latin S Spanish have been used in designating words from those languages. Otherwise, it is understood the words are English. The following authorities were consulted in the prep- aration of the list: Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/glossaryoftechniOOgray 2 AUTHORITIES.
