No catalogue has survived but the sale was advertised in The Daily Courant as "the libraries of a learned divine and lawyer, and also of Dr. Windebank and Mr. Gadbury (John Gadbury, 1627-1704, astrologer) deceas'd, consisting of a good collection of books in divinity, history, law civil and common, physick, mathematicks, astrology etc in several languages. Also several volumes of sermons and choice tracts in several faculties bound and stitch'd, and manuscripts". Windebanke's will has no mention of books, but bequeathed "all the rest of my goods and chattels whatsoever" to his daughter Frances Loveday.
