Detail under section 'Librarian'[edit]

I suspected at least one kind of error in this passage:

In 1632 he oversaw the transfer of Thomas van Erpe's collection of oriental books and manuscripts to Cambridge University Library after its purchase by George Villiers, which brought with it the collection's first book in Chinese.

I have realized the phraseology was misleading as it implied the Duke of Buckingham to whom the name was wikilinked was alive in 1632 when he had been murdered in 1628, 4 years after Van Erpe's death. I have rephrased the package to clarify the detail.Cloptonson (talk) 12:58, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
