Arthur, 'Catalogus impressorum librorum in Bibliotheca Universitatis Glasguensis', (Glasguae:  1791).
Binding: 17th-century blind-tooled calf over wooden boards;  covers decorated with double intersecting fillets to form a panel within an undecorated frame, the panel divided by a double fillet from corner to corner into four triangles;  evidence from nail holes of two now lost fore-edge clasps;  rebacked in 19th/20th century and given new pastedowns and endpapers (no evidence of originals survives);  gilt stamp ‘Glasgow College Library’ on spine;  lengthy two-line inscription on blackened fore-edge (unread).   Size: 439 × 285 mm.

Annotations: Occasional marginal annotations in a 16th-century hand;  very occasional pointing hands and underlining;  frequent highlighting of text in light ink wash;  faint ownership(?) inscription in top margin of [*2r] (unread under ultraviolet light);  19th/20th-century numbers in pencil “93/2” on [*2r] and “164/15” and [*2v] are probably binders’ job numbers.
Decoration: None.
Imperfections: Wanting the blank leaves [*1] of part 1 and Z10 of part 2;  leaves X9 and Z9 mutilated with loss of text.
