Books
Sill’s library was auctioned in London by Edward Millington in two separate sales, 21 and 29 November 1687. The Latin books were sold first in a sale which also included the books of Cornelius Callow; it is not possible to be sure which belonged to which, but 807 vols of Latin theology, philology and other subjects were included, together with 54 Italian books. The separate sale of English books comprised 492 vols plus 38 vols of tracts and sermons, mostly imprints from the second half of the 17th century.
Characteristic Markings
None of Sill’s books have been identified.
