Transcription

Hudson returns the catalogue, having marked the books he wants to purchase. He apologizes for not having replied sooner, but he was busy. 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]).
