In The Philoblon, a book by the mediaeval bibliophile Richard de Bury, chapter 15 speaks of the advatages of the love of books.
In this chapter, de Bury again argues that the love of wisdom and the love of books are one and the same. "In books we climb mountains and scan the deepest gulfs of the abyss"
