FOOTNOTES

[1] The classical Latin titles for “Librarian” found in inscriptions are:—Procurator bibliothecarum (perhaps a wider term than Librarian), Magister a bibliotheca, Bibliothecarius (used by Marcus Aurelius). Librarius was a minor library official: Librarius a manu, a secretary in the library.

[2] His arms were:—Quarterly, 1st and 4th argent five martlets in saltire, with a crescent gules for difference, on a chief azure three ducal crowns or (for Bodley), 2nd and 3rd argent, two bars wavy between three hone-stones sable two and one (for Hone). Motto, Quarta perennis (a reference to the three crowns, which were taken from the University Arms, presumably in 1604, when Bodley was knighted).
