FOREWORD
The manuscripts numbered 4001 to 4250 are here described for the
first time, but in the case of the manuscripts numbered from 4251
to 4500 a full scale catalogue description was prepared by the emi-
nent scholar Dr. Paul Kahle about twenty years ago. His catalogue
included also some 750 other Arabic manuscripts in the collection.
As the Arabic manuscripts form only one section of the many
Oriental collections in the Library and catalogues of the Turkish,
Armenian, Persian, Ethiopic, Burmese, Siamese, Tibetan, Mongolian,
and Indian collections are all in various stages of publication, it has
not been possible to provide for the printing of Dr. Kahle's very
full descriptions of part of the Arabic collection. A typed copy of
these descriptions is available in the Library. For the benefit of scholars
who cannot visit the Library and who wish to know what Arabic
texts are to be found there it has been decided to print short entries
in the Handlist for these manuscripts also and to include them in the
general index which will be published at the end of the last volume
of the Handlist.
