The sixth volume, whose second title is "Tales | selected from
the Manuscript copy | of the | 1001 Nights | brought to Europe by
Edward Wortley Montague, Esq.," ends with a general Appendix, of
which ten pages are devoted to a description of the Codex and a
Catalogue of its contents. Scott's sixth volume, like the rest of
his version, is now becoming rare, and it is regretable that when
Messieurs Nimmo and Bain reprinted, in 1882, the bulk of the work
(4 vols. 8vo) they stopped short at volume five.

Lastly we find a third list dating from 1837 in the "Catalogi |
Codicum Manuscriptorum Orientalium | Bibliothecae Bodleianae |
Pars Secunda | Arabicos | complectens. | Confecit | Alexander
Nicoll, J.C.D. | Nuper Linguae Heb. Professor Regius, necnon
AEdis Christi Canonicus. | Editionem absolvit | et Catalogum
urianum[FN#2] aliquatenus emendavit | G. B. Pusey S.T.B. | Viri

MDCCCXXXV." This is introduced under the head, "Codicil Arabici
Mahommedani Narrationes Fictae sive Historiaes Romanenses | in
Quarto (pp . 145-150).

I am not aware that any attempt has been made to trace the
history of the Wortley Montague MS.; but its internal evidence
supplies a modicum of information.
