Oxford University has many libraries but the main library called the Bodleian Library. It was named after Sir Thomas Bodley. “The Bodleian Library, founded by the scholar and diplomat Sir Thomas Bodley (1545-1613), this year celebrates the 400th anniversary of its opening. Bodley’s contemporaries were quick to recognise the grandeur of his vision and the vastness of his benefaction to the University.” http://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/2001-02/v14n2/03.shtml http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/rarebooks/rbd.html http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/ http://www.ox.ac.
