A.D. 1671
Upon the death of Meric Casaubon, on July 14, the Library became possessed, by his bequest, of sixty-one volumes of the Adversaria (chiefly consisting of notes on Greek criticism) of his father, Isaac Casaubon, who died in 1614. From these Jo. Christ. Wolf made some extracts when visiting the Library in 1709, which he published in the following year at Hamburgh, under the title of Casauboniana, with a preface giving some account of all previous collections of Ana, and with copious notes. The MSS. are catalogued in Mr. Coxe’s first volume, cols. 825-850.
