About This Book

A chronological account of the Bodleian Library’s growth and administration, beginning with its medieval origins and continuing through later centuries, presented as annals and archival narrative. The text documents benefactions, purchases, cataloguing and arrangement of collections, and the physical spaces and reading rooms that shaped use and access. It describes notable manuscripts, printed vellum items, curious artifacts and the numismatic holdings, and includes appendices listing officers, rules, and selected acquisitions. Compiled from library archives and private papers, the work aims to combine detailed descriptive material with a concise institutional history and practical reference to the library’s collections.

Page 131: changed comma to right parenthesis "(as his solitary claim to a place in the Athenæ)"

Page 136: changed "exspected" to "expected" (he was not one of those good men I expected)

Page 141: text appearing as "2/3" (two-thirds) interpreted as footnote anchor "[2]" now renumbered as [189] (up to March 30, 1735[189])

Page 253: changed "Abury" to "Avebury" (Accounts of Avebury and Stonehenge, ...)

Pge 314: changed semi-colon to comma in "(given by Hugh, Archd. of Taunton), ..."
