Moses Tyson (born 1897, Westmorland; died 1969), historian and librarian, was keeper of western manuscripts at the John Rylands Library 1927-1935 and from 1935 to 1965 librarian of the Manchester University Library. His successor Frederick William Ratcliffe described him as "''one of the great unsung figures of the University''"; according to Brian Pullan, historian of the University, Dr Tyson was "''a painfully shy bachelor who shunned the company of women''" and "''the self-effacing, misogynistic, chain-smoking Librarian''".〔Pullan, Brian & Abendstern, Michele (2000) ''A History of the University of Manchester, 1951–73'' ISBN 0-7190-5670-5; pp. 18, 92 (Extracts )〕 His friends included Sir William Watson the poet and H. B. Charlton, Professor of English Literature at the University of Manchester. == Works == * 1930 : ''Hand-List of the Collections of French and Italian Manuscripts in the John Rylands Library''.
