THE CATALOGUES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM: 3. ORIENTAL PRINTED BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS

Abstract

The Department of Oriental Printed Books and Manuscripts incorporates collections which were previously included in the Departments of Printed Books and of Manuscripts. A Department of Oriental Manuscripts was formed out of the latter in 1867, the Oriental printed books being added from the former department in 1892. Prior to these dates, any catalogues which were issued were technically publications of the parent departments. All, however, are included in this list for convenience.
