Books
Buncle's library was auctioned in London, 9.4.1695, as part of a joint sale with part of the library of John Tillotson. The sale catalogue contains 1821 lots, with no English books; Tillotson's English books were sold separately, 15.4.1695, but we have no information about Buncle's English ones. The sale catalogue mentions Buncle's holdings of books in "Hebrew, Chaldaick, Syriack, Persick, and other oriental books, with French, Italian and Spanish, and the 403 lots in these languages were presumably largely his; we do not know which of the Latin lots (1418) were Buncle's rather than Tillotson's.
