Cohen Stuart in the Eighth Continued on the Catalog of the Library, which mentions numbers 1 - 76; in it only the titles are given up, and not without reservation, it can be seen from the information given at the outset: "concerning the first part of the following Catalog, encompassing the articles in a more limited sense, can only be mentioned in general. notice that, for the sake of accuracy, the contents, as largely based on a cursory investigation by natives, can not be guaranteed with certainty.
