Transcription

Hudson heard that Sloane has a catalogue of books that are to be sold in The Hague. He wants to borrow the catalogue to see if he can procure a book, ‘Josephus de Bello Judaiico’, which was published around 1550. John Hudson (1662-1719) was elected librarian of the Bodleian Library in 1701. He corresponded with numerous scholars and librarians, both in England and abroad (Theodor Harmsen, Hudson, John (16621719), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2013 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14034, accessed 27 June 2013]).
