Thomas James (c. 1573 – 1629) was the first librarian of the Bodleian Library, Oxford. He compiled a classified catalogue of the books in the Bodleian Library in 1605, and in 1620 published an alphabetical catalogue Catalogus vniversalis librorum in Bibliotheca Bodleiana.[1] The Cathedral Library was given a copy of this catalogue by Dean Isaac Bargrave to mark his refounding of the Library.
