Books

From Waalt

This page is for references to books of interest. Thus, a breviary is so typical that it almost certainly should not entered. Law books, however, show access to legal learning; literary works are important for similar reasons; named books for religious purposes etc are likewise interesting. Books without names should not be listed.
