Bound manuscript volume, titled 'A Catalogue of Gaelic Books', 1899
Scope and Contents
This is a catalogue of books published in Scottish Gaelic, including titles, authors, and year of publication. Previous historical records have recorded it as D. Maclean's Typographia Scoto-Gadelica. This bound manuscript is dated 1899, while a Typographia Scoto-Gadelica, by D. Maclean, was published in 1915 (a digitized copy is available on the National Library of Scotland website; see External Documents below). Mackinnon appears to have added notes and later publications.
