Books

In his will, Rogers left his “study of books” to his son John. His library was sold by auction in London, beginning 21 June 1683, as part of a mixed sale; although his is the only name in the title, this refers to "bibliotheca cujusdam anonymi" and the preface states that the sale includes "other considerable persons studies". The catalogue lists 2917 lots, subdivided into Latin theology (395), Latin miscellaneous (394), French, Italian, Spanish and Belgian (26), English divinity (1400), English miscellaneous (702), manuscripts (16), volumes of bound tracts (85) and bundles of stitched pamphlets (70). There is no way of knowing how much of this material came from Rogers.
