The auction catalogue for the sale of the books of Edmund Castell, Professor of Arabic at Cambridge; a glimpse of the library of a seventeenth-century polyglot. (Gorgias reproduces the British Museum copy, which has handwritten notes of the sale prices and the buyers.) Dr. Castell edited the Samaritan, Syriac, Ethiopic and Arabic texts of the Polyglot Bible, and produced a dictionary for all seven languages (including Hebrew, Aramaic, and Persian) represented. He had books in all these languages, as well as English, Latin, Greek, and Armenian, although he left most of his Hebrew books to his college.
