Abstract

At the end of the seventeenth century, following the re-establishment of the Church of England in 1660, cathedral libraries faced the need for renovation, rebuilding, and reorganization, and many were extremely active in this respect. This paper describes the librarianship of Thomas Rud at Durham, which, even though it was to last for only a few years, showed him to be an efficient administrator and, in particular, a distinguished cataloguer of the manuscript collection.
