Richard Bentley (1662-1742) was a close advisor to the Chancellor of the University on matters relating to the Press: it was his energy and initiative which fuelled the revival of the Press in Cambridge. He was also responsible for the appointment of a body of a senior scholars ('the Curators', later the 'Syndics') to be responsible to the University for the Press's affairs. He later became Regius Professor for Divinity and Master of Trinity College.
