Biographical Note

Books
Vincent's probate inventory includes ca.75 books, valued at £9 4s 3d (from a total estate valued at £39 7s 11d). The books are mostly in Latin, with a predominance of theology (mostly patristics). He directed that his books be sold to defray his debts, save for a copy of St Augustine's works to be given to his executor (Thomas Burre); he bequeathed any residue of his estate to the college. The full inventory is edited as Leedham-Green no.76 (see full citation below).
