Gower's tomb at Southwark cathedral has him pillowed on his own works.

Sir Thomas Bodley's tomb in Merton College Chapel, Oxford, has him
framed by "pilasters" formed of stacked books, neither his own works
nor the Gospels, but the likes of Donatus, Diomedes and Priscianus -
a grammatically perfect vision of heaven!
