The University of Glasgow Library has one of the richest rare book collections in the UK outside London, Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester. There are 1042 incunabula (including many unique items). As witnesses of the first print revolution, these books are fascinating on many levels - as innovative survivors of the technological shift from manuscript to print, as late medieval texts available in duplicate to a commercial mass market for the first time, and as cultural artefacts containing over 500 years of ownership history. A well-presented catalogue is the key to accessing this rich resource for a wide range of historians and researchers. A further 64 incunabula in other Glasgow museums and libraries are also included. Bibliographically, incunabula have been well documented. The aim of the Glasgow catalogue is to concentrate on the unique aspects of the books. A short-title catalogue approach is taken in providing enough information to identify each edition (with reference to standard bibliographical works such as ISTC) presented in author order. The main focus of each record is on the copy specific features of the book, including full details of provenance (ownership), evidence of use from annotation and other marks, binding, decoration and any other idiosyncratic features (such as hand-colouring of woodcuts or manuscript waste used in endpapers.

Excerpt from Lists of Fifteenth Century Books in Edinburgh Libraries The late Mr J. P. Edmond in his Presidential Address, delivered on 14th December 1905, advocated the desirability of registering all fifteenth century books in the great libraries of Scotland, and appealed to the Society to undertake the work. He had himself set the example by making a list of these books in the Signet Library, and this List the Society of Writers to the Signet printed in the year 1906. Interest in the subject was stimulated by Mr Dickson's account of the early printed treasures under his care in the Advocates' Library. The project having been considered by the Committee of the Society, it was resolved that, to begin with, an attempt should be made to obtain lists of fifteenth century books in the Edinburgh libraries. Mr Dickson, Mr Nicholson, and Mr Graham heartily entered into the scheme and undertook the lists for their respective libraries, namely, the Advocates' Library, the University Library, and the Library of the Royal College of Physicians. Mr Cowan prepared the list for the United Free Church College Library, with the assistance of the librarians, Dr Kennedy and Mr D. Laird; and Mr Eeles has noted the incunabula in the Libraries of the Theological College of the Episcopal Church and of St Mary's Cathedral. The list of the books in the Crawford Library of the Royal Observatory is compiled by the Secretary from the Catalogue which was begun by Lord Crawford, finished by Professor Copeland, and revised by Mr Edmond. The Deputy Keeper and Commissioners of the Society of Writers to the Signet kindly gave permission to reprint their List. Mr Jcnkinson and Mr Aldis rendered very great service in identifying printers and places of printing, and in otherwise solving difficulties.

The five hundred years from the 1450s to the 1950s represent an extraordinarily rich quarry for evidence of incunabula sales, collecting, and use. What book lists reveal about publishing and reading habits in late-fifteenth-century Venice, how a Scottish librarian went about acquiring incunabula during World War II, and the international workshop connections glimpsed through early Hungarian bindings are among the topics explored in this volume. Library professionals aim spotlights on French plague tracts, Deventer as a printing place, the use of incunabula in learned societies in the nineteenth century, and incunabula collecting by monks and universities in England and Scotland.
