The Philobiblon Of Richard De Bury is a classic book written by Richard De Bury, a medieval scholar and bishop. This book is an ode to the love of books, and it is considered one of the earliest works on the subject of book collecting. The book is divided into twenty chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of book collecting and preservation. The Philobiblon Of Richard De Bury is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of books and book collecting. It provides a unique insight into the medieval mindset and the importance of books in that era. The book is also a valuable resource for modern book collectors, as it offers tips on how to care for and preserve books. Overall, The Philobiblon Of Richard De Bury is a must-read for anyone who loves books and is interested in the history of book collecting. It is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and educate readers to this day.Since the degree of affection a thing deserves depends upon the degree of its value, and the previous chapter shows that the value of books is unspeakable, it is quite clear to the reader what is the probable conclusion from this. I say probable, for in moral science we do not insist upon demonstration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
