[cf. Bondy p.114-5]Glasgow, David Bryce unless otherwise stated, dates where given; and c.70 other miniature books, mostly published by Bryce (see Condition Report), with one exception all in original publisher's bindingsFootnotes:THE SMALLEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD: AN EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTION OF MINIATURE VOLUMES, mostly produced by the Glasgow publisher David Bryce & Son, often in collaboration with Henry Frowde at the Oxford University Press. In a short space of time Bryce went from the position of a relatively unknown publisher to that of a vastly successful entrepreneur, using the latest printing technologies to produce 'more wee books than the total world production up to that time' (James Henderson, 'David Bryce & Son', The News-letter of the LXIV-mos, no. 11, 15 October 1928). As Bryce wrote in 1876, 'I descended to the miniature, mite and midget size, producing a little dictionary, the smallest in the world, in a locket accompanied by a magnifying glass.

The collection contains many of the books described in the chapter devoted to Bryce in Louis Bondy's Miniature Books, 1981, including the Qur'an, the English and French & English dictionaries, Gray's Elegy (the smallest Bryce book, 'exceedingly rare... at one time said not to exist'), three Bibles chained to model lecterns, the facsimile of Burns' Poems, and several of the sets such as the 'Ellen Terry Shakespeare'.The 'Mite Koran', in its distinctive red, blue or black leather bindings with a circular void in the gilt pattern, was a photolithographic reduction of two different Ottoman editions, and was printed on India paper specially produced for Bryce by Henry Frowde at the Oxford University Press. The two copies of the Qur'an included here are both the variant described by Nick McBurney as the '1871 Bryce', easily distinguished from the '1884 Bryce' (which was based on a different Istanbul edition) by the inclusion of the signatures and seals of ten Islamic scholars at the end. It is often noted that these Qur'ans were issued to Muslim soldiers fighting in World War I, but in fact they were printed on an industrial scale for export to the Arab world, where they were mostly carried as keepsakes rather than used for reading.
