4to (233 x 183 mm), [6], 74pp., wide margin copy, woodcut head-piece and decorative initial, some text in Arabic type, later paper wrappers, unopened and uncut. This is the earliest catalogue of the Uppsala University Library collections, perhaps the greatest in Sweden. A full catalogue of the collections was not published until 1814. Under the leadership of Erik Benzelius (1675-1743), the Library of the University of Upsala grew, benefiting from many important gifts. These included the 100 books and manuscripts described here which were collected and donated by Sparfvenfeldt. He was a diplomat and amateur linguist who collected many precious books and manuscripts on his travels in Russia, Europe, and northern Africa. Here he carefully describes the 41 Arabic, 8 Greek, and 7 Latin MSS including an eighth-century Greek text and an Italian Bible of 1474. The 41 printed books included five Chinese block-printed volumes, and also a famous world map (1674) by Ferdinand Verbiest. From the library of Bernard Breslauer, New York.
