About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1830. Excerpt: ... An Account or The Life Of Richard De Bury, Bishop Of Durham, Author Of The Philobiblion, Sive De A More Llbrorum. It hath been frequently remarked, that the life of a scholar is devoid of incident or variety, and consequently presents but scanty materials to the biographer. If this observation be correct when applied to modern times, how much more apposite is it, as our researches extend to the dark and gloomy period of the earlier ages; whose very spirit was inimical to the progress of letters, chiefly as it tended to dissipate the clouds of ignorance, that strong-hold of monkish supremacy: this obstacle of itself would necessarily deter many from the labour of investigation; yet he whose perseverance and discrimination were competent to collect and separate truth from the mass of fiction in which it was buried, would too often have reason to resign the attempt, disgusted by the dreary prospect of moral turpitude, which the history of mankind in a semi-barbarous state generally exhibits. How refreshing then, and grateful to the mind, amidst this universal waste, is the appearance of one, whose actions evince a strict adherence to the principles of honour and rectitude! Such was Richard de Bury in the fierce and turbulent reign of feudal despotism; this virtuous and learned man followed the fortunes of his sovereign with a zeal and sincerity rarely manifested, and lived to enjoy the reward of his faithful services by successively occupying the highest offices, both civil and ecclesiastical: his paternal name was Angraville, Leland, Comment. de Script. Britann, p. 373,4, states AnoraVilla to have been his paternal name, and asserts that, truncato rocabulo, he has been styled by Trithemius and other writers, Richardus de Bury. Tanner, BiM. Brit. lib. p. 57-...
