Ffeil NLW MS 21244C [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - Catalogue of the Mostyn and Gloddaeth Libraries

Catalogue of the books in the Mostyn Library, interleaved with a catalogue of the books in the Gloddaeth Library (ff. 2 verso-247). The Mostyn catalogue was written in a blank book sometime after 1727, with additions to 1733. The Gloddaeth catalogue, written not before 1733, with additions to 1745, was interleaved in the book by tipping in bifolia with paste and at the same time running thread inside the hinge of each bifolium and down the inside of the spine. The Mostyn catalogue is written on the rectos, leaving blank pages and space between entries for later additions; some later additions are also made on the versos. The Gloddaeth catalogue is closely written on rectos and versos. Both catalogues give titles with places and dates of publication. The Gloddaeth catalogue alone gives pressmarks. Both catalogues in the hand of Thomas Mostyn, 4th bart.
