A library at the University of Paris, visited by the young Pantagruel in the seventh chapter of the second book of Rabelais. He found it most magnificent, especially for certain books which he discovered in it. The catalogue Rabelais gives goes on for page after page after page; all I can do is name a few as a taster. This is one reason why you should read Rabelais.
