Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAMES, THOMAS (c. 15731629) ,
English
  librarian, was born at
Newport
 , Isle of Wight. He was educated at Winchester and New College,
Oxford
 , and became a fellow of New College in 1593. His wide knowledge of books, together with his skill in deciphering manuscripts and detecting literary forgeries, secured him in 1602 the post of librarian to the library founded in that year by Sir
Thomas
  Bodley at
Oxford
 . At the same time he was made
rector
  of St Aldate's, Oxford. In 16o5 he compiled a classified catalogue of the books in the Bodleian Library, but in 162o substituted for it an alphabetical catalogue. The arrangement in redo, whereby the Stationers' Company undertook to
supply
  the Bodleian Library with every book published, was James's
suggestion
 . Ill
health
  compelled him to resign his post in 162o, and he died at Oxford in August 1629.
