Library catalogue notes of Isaac Smith, ca. 1789

Thirteen slips of paper with fragments of handwritten alphabetical lists created by Isaac Smith presumably in his capacity as Harvard Librarian. Most of the entries are surnames or single-word subjects. For example, one slip with "M" entries includes: milway, miracles, miraculous, Mitchell, and Mitchell. Some of the lists have struck-through words or have entries annotated with numbers and the abbreviations "o" and "bk." The verso of one leaf has a brief, undated note regarding the transfer of books between Mr. Hilliard and Mr. Smith.

Story of Prophet Abraham translated from a Persian text (possibly Muʻīn ad-Dīn Farāhi's "Maʻārij an-nubūwwah fī madārij al-futuwwah"), story of Prophet Zakariya from a text entitled Māālamil tanzīl (possibly Abū Muḥammad Ḥusain bin Masʻūd Baǵavī's "Maʻālim at-tanzīl") and two stories from the Sakhāvat nāma (possibly Sakhāvat nāma-i Ḥaẓrat ʻĀlī, the popular versified account of the miracles attributed to Ḥaẓrat ʻAlī).
