Excerpt from Collectors: An Address Read to the Club of Odd Volumes at Its Annual Meeting, Boston, December 18, 1907
It is not necessary, and indeed there is not now time, to consider anything in Antiquity. We begin with some Of the great - the greatest - collectors in the Middle Ages; these were some of the Mo nasti'c Orders, notably the Benedictines. Literature and History owe a large debt of gratitude to this illustrious Order. The libraries they made or gathered were, in their time, the shrines and strongholds Of Civilization. All the world has never seen a grander and more impressively seated institution than Saint Benedict's Monastery on the Monte Cassino. Venerable in age and history, vast in size, with its church interior covered by gold and marbles, gorgeous even for Italy, it stands on its lofty heights looking out over the craggy Appenines and the wild Abruzzi. Secluded in quiet, simple rooms is, or was, the famous library. Through many a generation it grew by the patient art of. The transcriber.
