Library of Sir Thomas Browne

The 1711 Sales Auction Catalogue of the Library of Sir Thomas Browne is a catalogue of the books and other written works collected within the personal library of the English physician, philosopher and encyclopedist Sir Thomas Browne (1605–1682), most of which were sold at auction in 1711. Browne's library has been useful to scholars and historians not only in highlighting his erudition, but also in illustrating the proliferation, distribution and availability of books printed in 17th-century Europe, especially those owned by the intelligentsia, aristocracy, priests, physicians and educated merchant-class.
