The catalogue contained 3036 lots, as well as a number of bound volumes of French and English pamphlets, divided between Latin and Greek theology (905), Miscellaneous Latin and Greek (1105), French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch books (468), and English books (558). The catalogue, which claimed to comprise his entire collection, noted the additional advantage that many of the books contained “curious remarks wrote by his own hand”.
