, 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, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
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 See also: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
