Focusing on the joys and significance of reading, Richard de Bury's 1345 treatise passionately explores various themes such as the acquisition and care of books, their educational role, and the pleasures of book collecting. Divided into twenty chapters, it offers a rich insight into medieval book culture and intellectual life. This work serves as a timeless tribute to the enduring love of books, highlighting the responsibilities of book owners. The English translation by E. C. Thomas in 1861 makes this historical perspective accessible to modern readers.
