Hello, I am working on a digital collection of bookplates from the Seattle Art Museum libraries, and was wondering if anyone can help me on a question of Latin translation. The bookplate of J. Davis Barnett bears the saying of Homo unicus libris. I believe this is a play on the phrase homo unius libri, perhaps meaning man of unique books, or man of only books, or maybe he just erred. If anyone has any advice, I would be grateful to hear it. Thank you, Joel Irving ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
