Synopsis

Excerpt from University Library: Notes on Its History, Arrangements, and Aims

The foundation of the University of Glasgow on the model of that of Bologna in 1451 was almost coincident with the invention of the art of printing, which has furnished the chief helps of that assiduous study whereby,in the words of the Papal Bull creating the institution, the scz'encz'e margarita was to be attained. But it was long, probably, before the fruits of the press reached Scotland at all, and long, at any rate, before they were collected in any such number as to form the nucleus of a library.
