When the codices. whose shape resembled that
of the modern book, came into use press, OF
'armarium," took place in the library. Some
times this press was sunk in the thickness of the
wall, sometimes it had the form of the detached
cupboard. Pliny had a specimen of the former
kind in his bedroom. and the Ulpan library in
Trajan's Forum entirely fitted up with
presses Various classical drawings and scuIpt-
ures show that the doors and panels of these
presses were often richly decorated.
The Roman arrangement of the library cOntin-
ued during the first seven hundred years of the
Christian Era with Mr.. Clark reminds us, IAN
ever increasing luxury of material" He quotes
an illuminative statement by Isidore, Bishop of
Seville A d. 6O0-636 that "the best architects
object to giIded ceilings in libraries and to any
other marble than 'cipOllino' for the floor. be-
cause the glitter of gold is hurtful to the eyes.
while the green of 'cipOlinO is restful to them "
This literary Bishop himself composed the
Iaudatory verses which were inscribed
under the portraits of authors ranged
above his presses. The main features Of the
pagan library were preserved in the present

Sjxtus V. The primitive mOnasteries had their
libraries kept In presses and carefully super
vised by an appointed officer. 1t Is to the care
of books by the monastic orders that the author
devotes large and valuable part of this volume
Literature owed its preservation to the monk of
the Middle Ages until the invention of printing
enlarged its scope and opportunities.
There are not many details to be found con-
cerning the arrangement and fittings of the
early monastic libraries. but testimony is plenti-
full as to the love with which books-in the words
of the Carthusians, the perpetual food of our
souls''-were regarded. The rules as to lending
them and keeping them clean were strict; the
luxury of handkerche was excused on the
ground that the brethren would find them useful
for wrapping round the MSS. which they han
died. In some religious houses each manuscript
ended with imprecation upon the wight who
should steal ALLEVIATE or deface the precious
pages. In of the manuscripts belonging to

the gift OF books to a grateful monastery. Mr.
Clark records that among the Augustinians such
gifts and the labor expended upon books in gen
eraI were the subject OF a special service. AS
monastic libraries increased and grew more val
liable and beloved there rose the lectern system
which provided for the building of desks on
which books could be placed. lying on their sides
and chained to a bar. Some of these We're low,
and had seats for the student-some were high,
and at these he obliged to stand. Many
drawings OF these chained libraries are shown to
us. The attachment of the chain to the book
was effected by means of a loop of metal,
through which the last link of the chain
passed before the two ends of the loop
riveted upon the book cover. The leaves OF the
book were often forced out of shape and stained
by rust
The monastic books were kept. a rule, in
the coister. which was the centre of the broth
ers' working life. and their literary labors were
therefore scanty in winter weather. The au-
thor's researches go to show that recesses in
the thick walls lined with wood. some form
of the Roman armarium. were used to hold the
books. We note the Illustrations OF two of the
