Problem with vocab.

"All the books within my reach were folios of the gravest cast" 
Could someone explain to me "of the gravest cast"? What is the word "cast" here?Please, I have lots of problems with these words.

That's a very unusual use of cast . I've never heard it before and expect never to hear it again. I found this in Collins dictionary: cast noun 14.
