Abstract
This note examines the later library catalogue of Sir Edward Sherburne (1616–72), and in particular his record of loans made from his library. I demonstrate that one of the regular users of Sherburne’s extensive library was the schoolmaster John Newman, the first English translator of Xenophon’s Hellenica (London, 1685). In that publication, Newman acknowledged his debt to Sherburne and his books. I also supply some remarks on several other borrowers from Sherburne’s library.
