Thomas Dibdin

    Thomas Frognall Dibdin était un bibliographe anglais dont les œuvres exploraient le monde fascinant des livres. Souvent rédigés dans un style ludique et discursif, ses textes explorent les joies et les défis de la collection de livres. Bien que son érudition ait parfois manqué de précision, son enthousiasme pour la littérature et son désir de partager ses connaissances avec d'autres lecteurs en ont fait une figure marquante de l'histoire bibliographique.
