    Incunabula (English Collections)

    Manuscripts

    These are likely George Cole's personal notes about the Huntington collections, comprised of lists of a variety of holdings of the library, and acquisitions made by the Huntington between 1915 and 1924. It includes Cole's notes regarding variations within different printings of various texts (for example, differences in two copies of Bacon's "Wisdom of the Ancients" both from the same year, with different typeset), as well as listings of famous first editions, incunabula, Shakespeare quartos, and historical papers in the Huntington collection; lists of holdings in other libraries; lists of items sent to galleries, exhibits, or for exchange or sale; physical descriptions and comparisons of texts; biographical histories of certain authors; and lists of things not in the Huntington's collection. Additionally, it also includes some material on bibliography, and a cataloging guide from 1920 of HEHL cataloging practice. Most of the material is undated.
