Excerpt: ... on the fly-sheet the name of "Mathieu Monton, religieux et celerier de l'eglise de ceans," with the following verses: "Qui ce livre cy emblera, Propter suam maliciam Au gibet pendu sera, Repugnando superbiam Au gibet sera sa maison, Sive suis parentibus, Car ce sera bien raison, Exemplum datum omnibus." An Ovid, printed in 1501, belonging to the Bibliotheque de Chinon, has the following verses: "Ce present livre est a Jehan Theblereau.

"Steal not this book for fear of shame, For under lies the owner's name: The first is John, in letters bright, The second Smith, to all men's sight; And if you dare to steal this book, The devil will take you with his hook."
