HENRY (1831—1886) , See also:British See also:scholar and librarian, was See also:born in See also:London on the and of See also:February 1831, and educated at See also:Eton. He became a See also:fellow of See also:- KING

King's See also:College, See also:Cambridge, and after a See also:short scholastic career in See also:Ireland he accepted an See also:appointment in the Cambridge university library as an extra assistant. When he found that his See also:official duties absorbed all his leisure he resigned his See also:post, but continued to give his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time to the examination of the See also:MSS. and See also:early printed books in the library. There was then no See also:complete See also:catalogue of these sections, and Bradshaw soon showed a rare See also:faculty for investigations respecting old books and curious MSS. In addition to his achievements in See also:black-See also:letter bibliography he threw See also:great See also:light on See also:ancient See also:Celtic See also:language and literature by the See also:discovery, in 1857, of the See also:Book of See also:Deer, a See also:manuscript copy of the See also:Gospel in the See also:Vulgate version, in which were inscribed old Gaelic charters. This was published by the See also:Spalding See also:Club in 1869. Bradshaw also discovered some Celtic glosses on the MS. of a metrical See also:paraphrase of the Gospels by See also:Juvencus. He made another find in the Cambridge library of considerable philological and See also:historical importance. See also:Cromwell's See also:envoy, See also:Sir See also:Samuel See also:Morland (1625—1695), had brought back from See also:Piedmont MSS. containing the earliest known Waldensian records, consisting of See also:translations from the See also:Bible, religious See also:treatises and poems. One of the poems referred the See also:work to the beginning of the 11th See also:century, though the MSS. did not appear to be of earlier date than the 15th century. On this Morland had based his theory of the antiquity of the Waldensian See also:doctrine, and, in the See also:absence of the MSS., which were supposed to be irretrievably lost, the conclusion was accepted. Bradshaw discovered the MSS. in the university library, and found in the passage indicated traces of erasure. The See also:original date proved to be 1400. Incidentally the correct. date was of great value in the study of the See also:history of the language. He had a See also:share in exposing the frauds of See also:Constantine See also:Simonides, who had asserted that the Codex Sinaiticus brought by See also:Tischendorf from the See also:Greek monastery of See also:Mount See also:Sinai was a See also:modern See also:forgery of which he was himself the author. Bradshaw exposed the absurdity of these claims in a letter to the See also:Guardian (See also:January 26, 1863). In i866 he made a valuable contribution to the history of Scottish literature by the discovery of 2200 lines on the See also:siege of See also:Troy incorporated in a MS. of See also:Lydgate's Troye Booke, and of the Legends of the See also:Saints, an important work of some 40,000 lines. These poems he attributed, erroneously, as has since been proved, to See also:Barbour (q.v.). Unfortunately Bradshaw allowed his See also:attention to be distracted by a multiplicity of subjects, so that he has not See also:left any See also:literary work commensurate with his See also:powers. The See also:strain upon him was increased when he was elected (1867) university librarian, and as See also:dean of his college (1857—1865) and praelector (1863—1868) he was involved in further routine duties. Besides his brilliant isolated discoveries in bibliography, he did much by his untiring zeal to improve the See also:standard of library See also:administration. He died very suddenly on the loth of February 1886. His fugitive papers on antiquarian subjects were collected and edited by Mr F. Jenkinson in 1889.
An excellent Memoir of Henry Bradshaw, by Mr G. W. Prothero, appeared in 1888. See also C. F. Newcombe, Some Aspects of the Work of Henry Bradshaw (1905).
