According to two declarations, 1709 and 1711, on folio 113 verso, the catalogue was largely written by Mylne`s son James, but there are numerous additions in Mylne`s hand, and also notes of loans of books, 1709-1743 (folios 232-238). Also on folio 113 verso is a note by Mylne, 1718, stating that he bequeathed his library to his sons.
