The Crawford Collection at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh

Karen Moran and M. T. Brück

The Crawford Collection of books and manuscripts at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh contains the first editions of nearly every book important in the history of astronomy and related fields. It is especially rich in early literature on comets (a collection of over 1000 tracts, described as unrivalled anywhere, including 19th century observations) and many treatises on astrology.
