STUDIES OF BROWNE
The principal editions of the collated
Works
are
W
and
K
; and of selected writings:
M
,
E
, and Sir Geoffrey Keynes (1968). See also the entries below,
pp. 551
,
553
,
554
,
555
.
The major bibliographical guides to Browne are:
BTB
; Olivier Leroy,
A French Bibliography of Sir Thomas Browne
(1931); and Dennis G. Donovan in
Elizabethan Supplements X
(1968) as well as in ‘Recent Studies in Browne’,
ELR
, II (1972), 271–9. See also above,
p. 539
.
Biographies rely in the first instance on John Whitefoot’s ‘Some Minutes for the Life of Sir Thomas Browne’, in Browne’s
Posthumous Works
(1712), pp. xxiv-xxxvii; quoted at length by Samuel Johnson, above, pp. 502–5. Between Whitefoot and Johnson intervened Andrew Kippis with an account in his
Biographia Britannica
, 2nd ed. (1730), II, 627–37, which superseded Anthony à Wood’s earlier but highly eclectic sketch in
Athena Oxonienses
(ed. Philip Bliss [1820], IV, 56–9).
For modern biographies of Browne, see
§§176
,
190
,
198
. His birth on 19 October 1605 occurred, according to Johnstone Parr, between 8:11 and 9:02 a.m.! (
ELN
, XI [1973], 44–6). Miriam M. Tildesley’s discussion of
Sir Thomas Browne: his Skull, Portraits, and Ancestry
(Cambridge, 1927) is reprinted from
Biometrica
, XV (1923), 3–76, and abstracted in the appendix to
§190
. What little is known of Browne at Leyden is cited by R.W. Innes Smith,
English-Speaking Students of Medicine at the University of Leyden
(Edinburgh, 1932); cf. Frank L. Huntley, ‘Sir Thomas Browne’s Leyden Thesis’,
TLS
, 8 May 1953, p. 301. Jac. G. Riewald in ‘Sir Thomas Browne’s Supposed Visit to the Continent’,
ES
, XXVIII (1947), 171–3, denies that Browne visited Holland in 1665. A more important and much misunderstood episode in his life is placed in its correct perspective by Malcolm Letts in ‘Sir Thomas Browne and Witchcraft’,
N&Q
, 11th Series, V (1912), 221–3, and especially by Dorothy Tyler in ‘A Review of the Interpretation of Sir Thomas Browne’s Part in a Witch Trial in 1664’,
Anglia
, LIV (1930), 179–95. Finally, Margaret Toynbee considers ‘Some Friends of Sir Thomas Browne’, in
Norfolk Archaeology
, XXXI (1957), 377–94.
The most indispensable record of Browne’s stupendous learning is
A Catalogue of the Libraries of the Learned Sir Thomas Brown, and Dr Edward Brown, his Son
(1711).
