In his will, Rosewell bequeathed all his printed books to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, except any which were duplicates (either there, or on his own shelves already); these were to be disposed of as his executors thought best. Over 600 books from his gift, now in Corpus Christi, are identified in the online Oxford libraries catalogue.
