ANNALS OF THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY.
The large increase of treasures which these benefactions brought to the University probably caused the first institution of a formal Visitation. On Nov. 29, 1449, we find that Visitors were appointed by Congregation for the purpose of receiving from the Chaplain an account of the books contained in the Library.
Among the first and largest benefactors in the year 1600 occur Lord Buckhurst , the Earl of Essex, Lords Hunsdon, Montacute, , Lisle , Lumley, and William Gent, who gave a large collection of books, chiefly medical.
Many volumes were given about this time by Bodley, which had been collected in Italy by Bill, the London bookseller, who was employed by Sir Thomas to travel on the Continent as his agent for this purpose.
