See also:AUNGERVYLE, See also:RICHARD (1287–1345) , commonly known as RICHARD DE See also:BURY, See also:English bibliophile, writer and See also:bishop, was See also:born near Bury St See also:Edmunds, See also:Suffolk, on the 24th of See also:January 1287. He was the son of See also:Sir Richard Aungervyle, who was descended from one of See also:- WILLIAM

Oxford, where he is said to have distinguished himself in See also:philosophy and See also:theology. John Pits' says, but apparently without authority, that he became a See also:Benedictine See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger.

monk. He was made See also:tutor to See also:Prince See also:Edward of See also:Windsor (afterwards Edward III.), and, according to See also:Dibdin, inspired him with some of his own love of books. He was mixed up with the sordid intrigues which preceded the deposition of Edward II., and supplied See also:Queen See also:Isabella and See also:Mortimer in See also:Paris with See also:money in 1325 from the revenues of See also:Guienne, of which See also:province he was treasurer.

The king, moreover, repeatedly recommended him to the See also:pope, and twice sent him, in 1330 and 1333, as See also:ambassador to the papal See also:court, then in See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile at See also:Avignon. .On the first of these visits he made the acquaintance of a See also:fellow bibliophile in See also:Petrarch, who records his impression (Epist. Famil. See also:lib. iii. Ep. I) of the Englishman as "not ignorant of literature and . . . from his youth up curious beyond belief of hidden things." He asked him for See also:information about See also:Thule, but Aungervyle, who promised information when he should once more be at See also:home among his books, never sent any See also:answer, in spite of repeated enquiries. The pope, John XXII., , made him his See also:principal See also:chaplain, and presented him with a See also:rochet in See also:earnest of the first vacant bishopric in See also:England.
During his See also:absence from England he was made (1333) See also:dean of
See also:Wells. In See also:September of the same See also:year the see of See also:Durham See also:fell
vacant, and the king overruled the choice of the monks, who had
elected and actually installed their sub-See also:prior, See also:Robert de See also:- GRAY

made See also:lord treasurer, an See also:appointment he exchanged later in
the year for that of lord See also:chancellor. This See also:charge he resigned
in the next year, and, after making arrangements for the protec-
tion of his See also:northern See also:diocese from an expected inroad of the
Scots, he proceeded in See also:July 1336 to See also:France to See also:attempt a See also:settle-
ment of the claims in dispute between Edward and See also:- PHILIP

abroad to secure See also:peace, but within a See also:month of his appointment

Edward himself landed in See also:Flanders to procure See also:allies for his approaching See also:campaign. Aungervyle accompanied him to See also:Coblenz to his See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf.

Louis IV., and in the next year was sent to England to raise money. This seems to have been his last visit to the See also:continent. In 1340 and 1342 he was again engaged in trying to negotiate peace with the Scots, but from this time his See also:life appears to have passed quietly in the care of his diocese and in the See also:accumulation of a library.
He sent far and wide in See also:search of See also:manuscripts, rescuing many treasures from the charge of ignorant and neglectful monks. " No dearness of See also:price," he says, " ought to hinder a See also:man from the buying of books, if he has the money demanded for them, unless it be to withstand the malice of the seller or to await a more favourable opportunity of buying." It is to be supposed that Richard de Bury sometimes brought undue pressure to See also:bear on the owners, for it is recorded that an See also:- ABBOT (from the Hebrew ab, a father, through the Syriac abba, Lat. abbas, gen. abbatis, O.E. abbad, fr. late Lat. form abbad-em changed in 13th century under influence of the Lat. form to abbat, used alternatively till the end of the 17th century; Ger.

abbot of St Albans bribed him to secure his See also:influence for the See also:house by four valuable books, and that de Bury, who procured certain coveted privileges for the monastery, bought from him See also:thirty-two other books, for fifty pieces of See also:silver, far less than their normal price. The See also:record of his See also:passion for books, his Philobiblon, was completed on his fifty-eighth birthday, the 24th of January 1345, and he died on the 14th of See also:April (May, according to See also:Adam See also:Murimuth) of that year. He gives an See also:account (See also:chapter viii.) of the unwearied efforts made by himself and his agents to collect books. In the eighteenth chapter he records his intention of See also:founding a See also:- HALL

hall at Oxford, and in connexion with it a library of which his books were to See also:form the See also:nucleus. He even details the rules to be observed for the lending and care of the books, and he had already taken the preliminary steps for the See also:foundation.
The bishop died, however, in See also:great poverty, and it seems likely that his collection was dispersed immediately after his See also:death. But the traditional account is that the books were sent to the Durham See also:Benedictines at Oxford, and that on the See also:dissolution of the foundation by See also:- HENRY

Henry VIII. they were divided between See also:Duke See also:Humphrey of See also:Gloucester's library, Balliol See also:College and Dr See also:George See also:Owen. Only two of the volumes are known to be in existence; one is a copy of John of See also:Salisbury's See also:works in the See also:British Museum, and the other some theological See also:treatises by See also:Anselm and others in the Bodleian.
The See also:chief authority for the bishop's life is William de Chambre (printed in See also:Wharton's Anglia Sacra, 1691, and in Historiae Dunelmensis scriptores tres, See also:Surtees See also:Soc. 1839), who describes him as an amiable and excellent man, charitable in his diocese, and the liberal See also:patron of many learned men, among these being See also:- THOMAS

Thomas See also:Bradwardine, afterwards See also:archbishop of See also:Canterbury, Richard Fitzralph, afterwards archbishop of See also:Armagh, the enemy of the mendicant orders, See also:Walter Burley, who translated See also:Aristotle, John Mauduit the astronomer, Robert Holkot and Richard de Kilvington. John See also:Bale 1 and Pits 2 mention other works of his, Epistolae Familiares and Orationes ad Principes. The opening words of the Philobiblon and the Epistolae as given by Bale represent those of the Philobiblon and its See also:prologue, so that he apparently made two books out of one See also:treatise. It is possible that the Orationes may represent a See also:letter See also:book of Richard de Bury's, entitled See also:Liber Epistolaris quondam domini Ricardi de Bury, Episcopi Dunelmensis, now in the possession of Lord See also:Harlech. This MS., the contents of which are fully catalogued in the See also:Fourth See also:Report (1874) of the See also:Historical See also:MSS. See also:Commission (Appendix, pp. 379-397), contains numerous letters from various popes, from the king, a See also:correspondence dealing with the affairs of the university of Oxford, another with the province of See also:Gascony, beside some harangues and letters evidently kept as See also:models to be used on various occasions.
It has often been asserted that the Philobiblon itself was not written by Richard de Bury at all, but by Robert Holkot. This assertion is supported by the fact that in seven of the extant MSS. of Philobiblon it is ascribed to Holkot'in an See also:introductory See also:note, in these or slightly varying terms: Incipit prologus in philobiblon ricardi dunelmensis episcopi que libru composuit
1 Script. Ill. Maj. Brit. cent. v. No. 69. "- De Ill. Angl. Script. (1619, p. 468).
See also:AURANGZEB
Robert us holcote de ordine predicatorum sub nomine dicti episcopi. The Paris MS. has simply Philobiblon olchoti anglici, and does not contain the usual concluding note of the date when the book was completed by Richard. As a great See also:part of the See also:charm of the book lies in the unconscious record of the See also:collector's own See also:character, the See also:establishment of Holkot's authorship would materially alter its value. A See also:notice of Richard de Bury by his contemporary Adam Murimuth (Continuatio Chronicarum, Rolls See also:Series, 1889, p. 171) gives a less favourable account of him than does William de Chambre, asserting that he was only moderately learned, but desired to be regarded as a great See also:scholar.
The See also:original Latin See also:text was printed at See also:Cologne (1473), See also:Spires (1483), Paris (1500), Oxford (1598 and 1599), &c. It was first translated into English by J. B. See also:Inglis in 1832, and into See also:French by Hippolyte Cocheris in 1856. The best See also:translation is that by Mr E. C. Thomas, accompanying the Latin text, with full See also:biographical and See also:bibliographical introductions (1888). Other See also:editions are in the King's See also:Classics (1902) and for the Grolier See also:Club (New See also:York, 1889, ed. A. W. See also:West).
