The books are mostly in Latin, with some Greek, English and Hebrew, with a predominance of theology alongside some philosophy, classics, mathematics, medicineand other topics. He bequeathed a number of specific books to academic colleagues, and "to the poore scholers of our house all the little bokes that stand on the nether shelfe in the corner of the studdye". The full inventory is edited as Leedham-Green no.107 (see full citation below).
