ABOUT THE AUTHOR EDITIOR AND BIBLIOGRAPHER Thomas Frognall Dibdin 1776 - 1847 was an influential English bibliographer and Anglican clergyman best known for popularizing book collecting and producing landmark bibliographical works such as Bibliomania Bibliotheca Spenceriana and his revised edition of Typographical Antiquities. Dibdin was one of the founders and vice-president of the Roxburghe Club established in 1812 considered the first English bibliophile society. The club encouraged the production and reprinting of rare books stimulating a culture of book collecting that profoundly influenced English literary and bibliographical history.
