Religio Medici

Sir Thomas Browne · Andrew Crooke, London · 1642

No book-club dimension applies to a 17th-century book; the trap here is the facsimile and the modern edition. "Religio medici, being a facsimile of the first edition published in 1642, with an introduction by W. A. Greenhill" circulates widely and reproduces the 1642 setting, and is regularly mistaken for the original. Greenhill's Golden Treasury edition (Macmillan) and Keynes's 20th-century Works are modern editions. Any copy with a printed modern-English introduction, machine-made paper, or a publisher's cloth binding is not a 1642 Crooke.
