The book "Bibliomania in the Middle Ages" by the author F. Somer Meriwether is the definitive work on the passion of people for books in the Middle Ages. The author examines in detail how books became not only a source of knowledge, but also a subject of cult, legends and disputes. It is convincingly proven that bibliomania, or a morbid passion for books, had a significant impact on medieval society, its intellectual and religious development. The author investigates the well-known stories of book collections, book rarities, as well as the fate of books in monasteries and feudal castles. This book is an essential source for anyone interested in the history of books and reading in the Middle Ages.
