1  Introduction

The entries have been distributed according to nation and location. Catalogues covering more than one library are listed separately, with references in the entry of the location. Due to the eclectic nature, as well as slow growth of this list, there are many bibliographical inconsistencies to be noted, for which I apologise.

Readers are kindly invited to send their comments on this list to

It is hoped that the list will soon be updated. For further information, see http://sites.huji.ac.il/jnul/imhm/ and
