THE ALCOVE.
Alman. Is there any other passion, or fancy, in the
book-way, from which we may jndge of Bibliomania-
cism ?
Lysand. Let me consider. Y es ; there is one other
cliaracteristic of the book-madman that may as well be
noticed. It is an ardent desire to collect all the édi-
tions of a work which hâve been published. Not only
the First—whether uncut, upon large paper, in the hlack-
letter, unique, tali, or iltustrated—but all the éditions.*
(1690, 2 vols, folio), that he received his
testiraony from tho mouth of Fusfc’s son-
in-law—a ex ore Pétri Opilioms audivi, ’
—that Guttenburg was the author of the
invention. The liistorical works of Tri-
themius were collected and published in
1601, in folio, two parts, and his other
works are minutely detailed in the 9th
volume of the JHctionnarie Hhtoriqv.e,
pûblished at Caen, in 1789. Of these, one
of the most curious is his Polyyraphia :
being first printed at Paris, in 1518, in a
beautiful folio volume ; and presentiDg us,
in the frontispiece, with a portrait of the
abbé; which is probably the first, if not
the only legitimate, print of him extant.
Whether it bo copied from a figuro on his
torab—as it bas a good deal of the monu-
mental character—I hâve no means of
ascertaining. For the gratification of all
tartfful bibliomaniacs, an admirable fac-
similé is here annexed. The Polny raphia
of Trithemius was translated into French,
and published in 1601, folio. His work
De Scï'iptoribus Ecdesiasłicis, Colon, 1546,-
4to., with two appendices, contains much
valuablo matter. P?he author died in his
55th year, A.D. 1516 : according to the
inscription upon his tomb in the monastery
of the Benedictines at Wirtzburg.. His life
has beeh writton by Busæus, a Jesuit. See
La Monnoye’s noto in the Juyemens des
Savans ; ibid.
* 1 frankly confess that I was, myself, once desperately afflicfced with thia
eleventh symptom of The Biblionuuiia ; having collected not fewer than seventy-
jive éditions of the Greek Testament—but time has cooled my ardour, and
mended my judgment. I hâve discavdod sevenfcy, and retain, only five : which
are P. Sleevens’s of 1550, The Elzeuir of 1624, MilTs of 1707, WestehCs of 1751,
and Griesbach's of 1810—as beautifully and accurately reprintod at Oxford.
