FOREWORD
It is no light task to catalogue a collection .of manuscripts as exten-
sive as that contained in the Arabic section of the Chester Beatty
Library. As I look back on the years of work involved in preparing
even the short descriptions which make up this and the preceding six
volumes, I cannot conceal a sense of satisfaction, even of a certain
relief, at having finally accomplished so heavy a labour. Yet this
emotion, surely pardonable enough, is overwhelmed by the con-
tinuing and always sustaining feelings of wonder and excitement
experienced in exploring a treasury so rich in rarities, so abundant
in beauty, so various in interest.
The two hundred plates included in these volumes are a substan-
tial indication of the wealth of autograph copies, of transcriptions
by famous authors and scholars, and of masterpieces of calligraphy
which go to make this collection unique. For all that, the Chester
Beatty Library houses very many more Arabic manuscripts, not
selected for illustration, of equal importance to those represented by
the plates. Even so, these plates furnish materials for the study of
Arabic handwriting, and for the identification of particular scripts,
on a. larger and wider scale than any assemblage hitherto printed.
It is intended to complete this Handlist with an eighth volume,
now being compiled, which will contain comprehensive indexes of
all the titles and authors of the manuscripts, as well as a repertory of
the dated codices, and a list of the plates.
I cannot conclude this work and these words without expressing,
in phrases all too inadequate, my profound gratitude to Sir Chester
Beatty for having entrusted this task to me, and having thereby
furnished me with so much instruction and so much pleasure.
