Humfrey Wanley's Human Design Chart
4/6 Emotional ProjectorEnglish librarian, palaeographer and scholar of Old English, employed by manuscript collectors such as Robert and Edward Harley. He was the first keeper of the Harlein Library, now the Harleian Collection.
Starting out as a draper in his home town, he soon tired of this and moved to Oxford University to study in 1695 thanks to his patron William Lloyd, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield. There he worked as an assistant at the Bodleian Library until 1700, when he moved to London, where he gained temporary jobs as secretary to the SPCK and assistant to Hans Sloane (Sloane was secretary to the Royal Society, and Wanley was elected a Fellow of it in 1706), before landing a settled job with the Harleys which he held to the end of his life.
Wanley, together with John Bagford and John Talman, was one of three ‘founder members’ of the reconstituted Society of Antiquaries, which first met at the Bear Tavern on the Strand on 5 December 1707. Wanley contributed to the scholarship of Old English literature with his 1705 catalog of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts, Antiquae literaturae septentrionalis liber alter.
Wanley married twice. He died of dropsy on 6 July 1726 and was buried at St Marylebone Church.
