Books
Mouncaster's damaged probate inventory includes ca.40 books, valued at £1 1s (from a total estate valued at nearly £7); this may not be his entire library. The books are mostly in Latin, with some Greek, with a mixture of theology, philosophy, classics, and other topics. His estate was inherited by his father. The full inventory is edited as Leedham-Green no.94 (see full citation below).
