Biographical Note
Prebendary of Canterbury.
Books
Casaubon inherited many of the books of his father Isaac Casaubon, bringing back from Paris books which had been left there when Isaac moved to England. Edward Stillingfleet bought many of Meric's books, which are now in Archbishop Marsh’s Library, Dublin. Some other volumes from his library came into Canterbury Cathedral Library through gifts to William Somner. He bequeathed 61 volumes of the elder Casaubon's adversaria to the Bodleian Library.
