Summary

The Philobiblon is a collection of essays concerning the acquisition, preservation, and organization of books written by the mediaeval bibliophile Richard de Bury shortly before his death in 1345. The purposes of the Philobiblion were "to encourage the pursuit of learning contained in books; to justify the time and money de Bury spent on them; and to give practical advice for the formation of running of a library. Written in Latin, as was the custom of the day, it is separated into twenty chapters, each covering a different topic relating to book collecting.

    Ab urbe condita libri sunt opus monumentale historiae Romanae Latine scriptum, quod inceptum est ferme anno 27 vel 25 a.C.n. a Tito Livio. Continet res gestas Latinae gentis ex tempore Aeneae, quem proavum populi Romani fuisse fama est, usque ad tempora recentiora regnante Augusto dum vivebat Livius. Ultimus annus a Livio commemoratus est 745 AUC vel 9 a.C.n. quo enim anno defunctus est Drusus. Circa quarta pars operis adversos casus temporum supervixit.Ab urbe condita libri quondam 142 libros continuit, quos autem hodie rectius capitula nuncuparemus. Eorum 35, i.e. libri 1–10 cum praefatione et libri 21–45, usque adhuc admodum intacti supersunt. Quod quidam codex V. saeculo compositus severe laesus est libri 41 et 43-45 lacunis affecti quasi locupleti sunt neque contenta eorum alibi in Livii scriptis praebentur.
