520 _a"The Love of Books: The Philobiblon of Richard de Bury" by Richard de Bury is a collection of essays written in 1345. This medieval treatise explores the acquisition, preservation, and organization of books through twenty chapters. Written in Latin by an English bibliophile, it aims to encourage learning, justify the author's devotion to books, and provide practical library management advice. The work contains innovations in circulation control and references the Bible extensively, becoming one of the longest medieval texts on its subject. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
