Distinguished above all for his zeal for learning, Richard de Bury (1287-1345) was an influential figure during the reign of Edward III, becoming bishop of Durham and serving on several diplomatic missions abroad, during which time he accumulated many rare works. The Philobiblon is his passionate treatise on learning and book collecting. Lodging a complaint in the voice of books themselves, Richard expresses his frank views on the current state of learning and scholarly practice. This translation, the first such into English, was prepared anonymously in 1832 by the scholar and linguist John Bellingham Inglis (1780-1870). Unlike other book collectors, Inglis was noted for actually having read the books he acquired. The present work contains a brief preface discussing previous scholarship and editions of the text, and ends with extensive notes by Inglis on the original text and his editorial decisions.

This Element surveys the place of the bookstore in the creative imagination (the fantasies of the bookstore) through a study of novels in which bookstores play a prominent role in the setting or plot. Nearly 500 'bookstore novels' published since the first in 1917 have been identified. The study borrows the concept of 'meaningful locations' from the field of human geography to assess fictional bookstores as narrative events rather than static backgrounds. As a meaningful location, the bookstore creates the potential for events that can occur both within the place of the store and in the wider space within which it functions. Elements of the narrative space include its spatio-temporal location, its locale or composition, and the events which these elements generate to define the bookstore's sense of place.

La bibliothèque municipale de Reims organise, en partenariat avec l'Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, l'exposition Le goût des livres, Victor Diancourt, collectionneur champenois, du 9 septembre au 10 décembre 2016. Cette exposition est présentée à la bibliothèque Carnegie, pôle de conservation et de valorisation au sein de la bibliothèque municipale de Reims. Cette exposition s'inscrit dans un projet de recherche soutenu par la Région Champagne- Ardenne (ALiPat, acteurs du livre et patrimoine textuel). La Ville de Troyes accueillera prochainement dans le même cadre une exposition consacrée à Charles des Guerrois, autre grand collectionneur champenois. L'exposition de Reims a pour ambition la mise en lumière d'un fonds très riche. En effet, de tous les dons antérieurs à la Première Guerre mondiale, le plus précieux est celui de Victor Diancourt, sénateur et maire de Reims, grand bibliophile et collectionneur, qui légua en 1910 près de 20 000 volumes. Une grande partie a malheureusement été détruite le 3 mai 1917 lors de l'incendie de l'Hôtel de Ville qui abritait la bibliothèque depuis sa création au début du XIXe siècle.
