bibliopoles and other bibliotypes. A bibliopole is simply a bookdealer, while a bibliotaph is one who conceals or hoards books, keeping them under lock and key, and a biblioclast is someone who collects and treasures books either for their val- ue or for what’s in them, and a bibliomaniac is a bibliophile gone bonkers, one who loves books to the point of madness. Legend has it that Don Vicente, a Spanish friar and scholar, murdered five or six collectors to steal a rare book, which makes him a biblioklept as well as a bibliomaniac. Another not- ed book thief was Innocent X, who, before he became pope, was caught red-handed stealing L’Histoire du Concile de Trente from a painter’s studio while visiting with a religious party. The future pope was evicted bodily by the painter, and some historians believe that this action caused the ill-feeling toward France that marked the pontifical reign of Innocent X. The an- cient Assyrians had curses like this for the library biblioklept: “The gods of heaven and earth and the gods of Assyria, may all these curse him with a curse which cannot be relieved, terrible and merciless, as long as he lives, may they let his name, his seed, be carried off from the land, may they put his flesh in a dog’s mouth!”
