Wing B-5150, Osler. 4522, Keynes 201, Wellcome II, p.253. Browne was an author and physician who was born in London and educated at Oxford and abroad; in 1671 he was knighted by Charles II. .His "Religio Medici" was written about 1635 and circulated in manuscript form; it was published in a pirated edition in 1642 by AndrewCrooke and, after reviews and observations of the work by Kenelm Digby, Browne felt forced to provide a correct version of his work, which was published the following year. It is a model of strength and tolerance, not always present in a work of religious thought. The "Hydriotaphia" was occasioned by the discovery of funeral urns near Norwich," the "Garden of Cyrus" was devoted to the mystic symbolism of the number five; "Pseudodoxia Epidemica" discussed and commented on ideas and ideologies that are accepted with question by the general populace.
