Sir Thomas Browne (d. 19 Ekim 1605 - ö. 19 Ekim 1682), İngiliz yazar.
Religio clarifies how Liceti's intellectual obsessions were so often Browne's own; Pseudodoxia and Browne's library catalogue reveal that Liceti ranked among Browne's favourite polymaths.
His library was housed mainly in one large room with open shelves reaching to the ceiling and a couple of turntable bookcases, one of them completely filled with editions of his favourite among all books, Sir Thomas Browne's Religio Medici
