J. O'G.

_Anagram._--Sir J. Stephen, in his essay on _The French Benedictines_,

gives an anagram of Father Finavdis of the Latinized name of that great

bibliophagist Magliabechi:--Antonius Magliabechius--Is unus bibliotheca

magna.

In the same essay he says that Mabillon called Magliabechi "Museum

inambulans, et viva quaedam bibliotheca." Possibly this is the origin of

our expression "a walking dictionary."
