BEATTY, Chester (1875-1968) -- MILLAR, Eric George (b. 1887). The Library of A. Chester Beatty. A Descriptive Catalogue of the Western Manuscripts . Oxford: Privately Printed by John Johnson at the Oxford University Press, sold by Bernard Quaritch Ltd., 1927-1930. 4 volumes, 2 o (454 x 307 mm). 205 plates, six in colors and gold, by Emery Walker Ltd. (in 2 plate volumes). Original red quarter morocco, gilt-lettered on spines. A FINE COPY of Beatty's luxurious catalogue, prepared by Eric George Millar, curator of manuscripts at the British Museum. Beatty formed his superb collection in a mere six-year period. Beatty projected six volumes (each similarly divided into text and plates) to the series in his foreword, but these four were the only volumes issued; the last would have contained descriptions of manuscripts from the later Middle Ages. Laid-in is a proof title of vol. 1, three Christmas cards from Chester Beatty and two black-and-white photographs of Beatty. (4)
