BTW. I don't think you need to artificially limit the number of works listed on this page. Wikipedia is not paper, so conciseness is an issue only in terms of readability. As long as the basic idea of a list of works in a library is deemed ok for wikipedia, I wouldn't worry too much about the number of works listed. List all books you feel relevant and you care to take the trouble of entering. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 20:47, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

*Fabricus Opera Anatomica Paris 1625. Who's Fabricus? Is it Fabricius? If so, which one? RickK 19:57, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Of the cause of purple rain in Brussels
This is a most interesting title, but I couldn't find info either on the book or the event. Perhaps it could be something related to the famous recent red rains in India? Does anyone know something about it? And, by the way, this is by far one of the most interesting articles around. I live overseas and I have been trying, with no success, to get a copy of the Leiden fac-simile. Keep up the good work, and thanks.

Reply to article query
Actually this article DOES state both its source and references. The only source used for this article is the one stated in the entry namely the 1711 Sales Catalogue of the Library of Sir Thomas Browne. How it is to be re-organised without the objector leaving his calling card to discuss is unknown to me, i just copied the titles from the 1986 facsimile to link to other pages of interest on Wikipedia to highlight Browne's diverse reading that's all!!!Norwikian (talk) 17:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

More information required
Could it be said in the intro where the library actually was - it is implicit that it was in Norwich (but not absolutely clear) Jackiespeel (talk) 16:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
