bibliognost
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: bibliognosts
Etymology: From French bibliognoste; equivalent to biblio- (“book”), from Ancient Greek βῐβλῐ́ον (bĭblĭ́on), and γνώστης (gnṓstēs, “expert”).
Senses: examples: text: Mr. Dibdin, since the above was written, has witnessed the confusion of the mind, and the gigantic industry, of our bibliognoste which consisted of many trunks full of memoranda.[…]A bibliognoste, from the Greek, is one knowing in title-pages and colophons, and in editions; the place and year when printed; the presses whence issued; and all the minutiæ of a book.[…]I shall catch our bibliognoste in the hour of book-rapture! It will produce a collection of bibliographical writers, and show to the second-sighted Edinburgher what human contrivances have been raised by the art of more painful writers than himself—either to postpone the day of universal annihilation, or to preserve for our posterity three centuries hence, the knowledge which now so busily occupies us, and to transmit to them something more than what Bacon calls “Inventories” of our literary treasures.

text: ‘It is’, A. J. P. Taylor writes in his lauded introduction to the Manifesto, ‘a grave upset to the Marxist system that the proletariat has not become the ruling class in the community and shows no sign of doing so.’ And it's true that the Manifesto repeatedly expresses certainty about particular outcomes. Such ‘inevitabilism’ is misplaced. As we've seen, the Manifesto’s argument for the ineluctable impoverishment of the working class under capitalism, for example, has not been borne out.
