More importantly, this work contains a cumulativebibliography about the manuscripts located in thelibraries. Thepreviousbibliographies that werepublishedaboutpersonsandsubjectsorabout the manuscripts, locatedin aparticular library, were also included in this bibliography. We hope that this guide book about manuscript libraries will fill an important gap in this field and fulfill the serious need felt for such a work for years.
