Indispensable document for understanding the breadth and depth of Browne's learning. There's a much edited version on this on Wikipedia listing some of the best books in Sir T.B. and his son Edward's libraries, but this is really the ultimate guide to Browne's sources.
In over 350 years of Brunonian studies this Catalogue has only been widely available since 1986 thanks to the devotion of a life-times scholarship by Jeremiah S. Finch, (1910-2005) Dean Emeritus of Princeton University.
