OXFORD'S RADCLIFFE "CAMERA"  

IS REALLYA  

VARSITY LIBRARY  

INKED with the great University  

Library known as the Bodleian is  

the Radcliffe Camera, the dome of which  

dominates the colleges of Oxford. This  

great round building, crowned with its  

lead-covered dome and its cupola, is one  

of the noblest English buildings in the  

Italian style and is one of the city’s most  

remarkable sights. Costing £40,000 when  

it was built by James Gibbs between 1737  

and 1749, it was founded by John Rad-  

cliffe, the court-physician whose bene-  

factions also included the Radcliffe  

Observatory and the Radcliffe Infirmary  

in Oxford. This Yorkshire doctor, born  

in the time of the Commonwealth, was  

one of the most remarkable men on  

Oxford’s roll of fame. He went to  

London at an early age and began earn-  

ing twenty guineas day, became the  

court physician he attended William and  

Mary and saved the king’s life, but on  

being summoned one day to the queen,  

who was suffering from smallpox, he de-  

clared on seing the recipes of what she  

had been given, that she was dead  

woman, and in fact she died within  

few days. John Radcliffe died in 1714  

and was buried in St. Mary’s Church,  

Oxford.  

The Radcliffe Camera, originally  

known as the Physic Library, has been  

reading room of the Bodleian since  

1860 and is largely devoted to modern  

literature. In the nineteenth century  

large underground chamber was con-  

structed with storage space for over  

million books.  

Among the treasures of the Bodleian is  

an eleventh-century copy of Caedmon’s  

Creation, contemporary copy of Magna  

Carta and seventh-century copy of the  

Acts of the Apostles which the Venerable  

Bede is believed to have used. Here also  

are volumes which are known to have  

been handled and read by Shakespeare  

Milton and Shelley,
