The King James Library was founded in 1612 with the patronage of James VI & I. The Library is in the north range of St Mary's College quadrangle, above Parliament Hall. Distinguished scientist James Gregory, first Regius Professor of Mathematics (1668-1673), worked in the Library. A meridian line was placed in the floor in 1726 to commemorate his work. This line continues outside across the pavement of South Street.
