<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkwing Manor, post: 2133234, member: 738&quot;]So, it turns out we don&#039;t need to put our names in books at all. There is a medieval curse method to protect them from theft or damage. I wish I had known this sooner.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bored:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; From Atlas Obscura: shorturl.at/duJRV</p><p>Excerpt:&quot; “For him that stealeth, or borroweth and returneth not, this book from its owner, let it change into a serpent in his hand &amp; rend him. Let him be struck with palsy &amp; all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain crying aloud for mercy, &amp; let there be no surcease to his agony till he sing in dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not, &amp; when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of Hell consume him for ever.”&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
