Significant portions of it had been deposited earlier. 580 For brief descriptions of Medieval and Renaissance codices, see Seymour De Ricci and W. J. Wilson, Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada. Most of the Arabic manuscripts (about 10,000 of 10,300 titles) and a small portion of Persian and Turkish manuscripts (about 200 of 1,900) have been described in four catalogs published by Princeton University Press between 1938 and 1987. All the Garrett (and most of the other Princeton collections containing) Ethiopic codices and magic scrolls are described in an unpublished guide, "A Catalogue of Ethiopic Manuscripts in the Princeton University Library," 3 vols. The Gates manuscripts in the Garrett Collection are described in Mesoamerican Ethnohistory in United States Libraries: Reconstruction of the William E. Gates Collection of Historical and Linguistic Manuscripts, compiled by John M. Weeks (Culver City, CA: Labyrinthos, c.1990); they are also described in the RLIN record for the Garrett Collection of Manuscripts in the Indigenous Languages of Middle America. 650 0 Ethiopian magic scrolls. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045154 650 0 Manuscripts, Arabic. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080687 650 0 Manuscripts, Chinese. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080701 650 0 Manuscripts, Church Slavic. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080702 650 0 Manuscripts, Classical (Papyri) |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080703 650 0 Coptic manuscripts. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh86005563 650 0 Manuscripts, Ethiopic. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080711 650 0 Manuscripts, Hebrew. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080722 650 0 Manuscripts, Indic. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080724 650 0 Manuscripts, Japanese. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080728 650 0 Manuscripts, Javanese. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080729 650 0 Manuscripts, Manchu. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080740 650 0 Manuscripts, Maya. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080743 650 0 Manuscripts, Medieval. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080744 650 0 Manuscripts, Naxi. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91000941 650 0 Manuscripts, Pali. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080752 650 0 Manuscripts, Renaissance. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080759 650 0 Manuscripts, Samaritan. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh87000748 650 0 Manuscripts, Sanskrit. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080761 650 0 Manuscripts, Sinhalese. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080766 650 0 Manuscripts, Syriac. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080773 650 0 Manuscripts, Tibetan. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh89005582 650 0 Manuscripts, Turkish. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080777 650 0 Manuscripts, Urdu. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080778 655 7 Manuscripts. |2aat 700 1 Gates, William, |d1863-1940. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86023604 700 1 Garrett, Robert, |d1875-1961, |edonor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr93014294 856 42 |zChecklist of Ethiopic Magic Scrolls |uhttps://library.princeton.edu/mssimages/ethiopic/index.html 856 42 |zChecklist of Mesoamerican Manuscripts |uhttps://library.princeton.edu/mssimages/index.html 856 42 |zFinding aid to Robert Garrett Collection of Ethiopic Manuscripts |uhttp://arks.princeton.edu/ark:/88435/1544bp15p 911 19970612 912 19970605000000.0 950 |c2023-11-18 23:32:44 US/Eastern |b2021-07-12 10:58:28 US/Easternfalse 998 06/05/97 |s9554 |nNjP |wNJPG93A26 |d02/23/93 |pp |i970605 |lNJPG
