This is a new edition of 1605 J, arranged in one alphabetical order of authors’ names. The Proeomium contains much information about the Library. The MSS. and printed books are treated alike in this catalogue, each with its pressmark. Dr. James had resigned the office of Librarian in May 1620 from illness. The Hebrew MSS. are not all entered in the Catalogue, and “propter typorum defectum” are described in Latin, not Hebrew type. A second edition of the Appendix was issued in 1635. The expense of printing the volume was £112 10s., (Reg. Convoc. N. 23, fol. 93, quoted by Macray Annals of the Bodleian, 2nd ed. p. 58 n.)
