Bibliotheque

"Forſooth they haue chriſtned the book now by a new name. It muſt no lõger be called a Bibliotheque of holy Fathers; for, they haue diſſainted ſome 100. or two of thoſe auncient writers, and diſcarded many of the reſt, in euerie Tome ſome: It muſt now be called Bibliotheca Patrum, & veterum Authorum Eccleſiaſticorum, a Bibliotheque of Fathers, and other old Eccleſiaſticall writers."

"This invention of erecting libraries, eſpecially here at Rome, came from Aſinius Pollio, who by dedicating his Bibliotheque, containing all the books that ever were written, was the firſt that made the wits and workes of learned men, a publicke matter and a benefit to a Commonweale."
