BIBLIA PAUPERUM OR BIBLE OF THE POOR, was a sort of picture-book of the middle ages, giving the leading events of human salvation through Christ, each picture being accompanied by an illustrative text in Latin. (See BIBLIOGRAPHY, Vol. III, p. 653.) A similar work on a more extended scale, with the text in rhyme, was called Speculum Humana Salvationis, or Mirror of Human Salvation. Before the Reformation these two books were the chief text-books used, especially by monks, in St. Gall Bible Society, 1813--- Brunswick Bible Society, 1815-- Eutin Bible Society, for the Principality of Lubeck, 1817 10,445 2,151,820 221,180 145,938 75,000 34,165 Lippe-Detmold Bible Society, 1816.. 42,955 Waldensian Bible Society, at La Tour, 1816-Berne Bible Society-- 4,238 257,650 15,000 33,271 2,800 15,000 41,000 61,071 3,316 30,000 896,604 35,000 5,000 7.377 25,165 97,741 114,995 7,802 Weimar Bible Society, 1821- BIBLIOMANCY-BICÊTRE Total Issues. 20,000 458,344 7,017 457 vided they be rare, is a favorite pursuit with many. The editions of the classic writers most affected by collectors are the beautiful Elzevirs and the Foulises. Some of these have, at various times, brought fabulous prices. As much as £3,900 has been paid for 750,000 a Mazarin Bible, and the first dated copy of Boc439 7,623 caccio's Decamerone (1471) was sold for £2,260. 8,980 A psalter, printed by Füst and Schöffer in 1459, 35,826 brought £4,950 at a sale in London in 1885. A copy of the Guttenberg Bible, in two volumes, printed in 1455, the first book printed from movable type, was purchased at the Brayton Ives sale in New York, March 14, 1891, by J. W. Ellsworth of Chicago, for $14,800. Such books as these are valued solely on account of their antiquity; works of a later date are prized on account of their beauty or fine workmanship. See Bibliography, Vol. III, pp. 654, 655. 14,909 24, 100 558,149 1,025,467 1,657,733 The British and Foreign Bible Society reported, March 31, 1890, a list of 3,279 auxiliary and branch Bible societies, the American Bible Society at the same date reported a list of 2,034, aggregating a total of 5,313 auxiliary and branch societies which are connected with those two parent societies, and whose names are not given in the foregoing list. The number of branch and auxiliary societies connected with other parent organizations cannot be given, as some of them have published no recent 'statistical reports. The Russian Bible Society, previous to its suspension by imperial ukase in 1826, had 289 auxiliaries. As most of the auxiliaries embraced in the figures given above report subordinate societies representing smaller territorial districts, it is estimated that the number of distinctive Bible organizations, including auxiliaries, in the world. probably exceeds 10,000. BIBLIOMANCY, a mode of divination much practiced during many ages by opening the Bible and observing the first passage that occurred, or by taking notice of the first words of the Bible heard after entering a place of worship. The application was often very fanciful. Prayer and fasting were sometimes used as a preparation for a mode of consulting the divine oracles, than which nothing could be more contrary to their purpose and spirit, and which was in harmony only with the notions and practices of heathenism. It was prohibited under pain of excommunication by the Council of Vannes, A.D. 465, and by the councils of Agde and Orleans in the next century. It continued, however, to prevail many centuries after, and was introduced into England at the Norman conquest. It was essentially the same as the Sors Homerica or Sortes Virgiliana, the only difference being the book employed. BIBLIOMANIA (from Gr. biblion, a book," and mania, "madness") may be defined as a passion for collecting and hoarding rare or curious books. The last century and a half has witnessed a marked manifestation of this taste, both in Europe and in the United States. The bibliomaniac values books, not for their intrinsic worth alone, but for their scarcity, their age, their binding, and even for some grave blemish. Even a very common book takes on a fictitious value in the collector's eyes if it be the only known copy in existence, or be printed in black-letter, or have the stamp affixed of some long dead but famous binder. The formation of complete sets of such books, or of the works of a single author, pro 66 BICARBONATES differ from carbonates in containing twice as much carbonic acid. Bichromates, bisulphids and bitartrates are words formed on the same plan; but in recent chemical nomenclature the prefix bi- has been largely superseded by di-. BICE, the name of two pigments, of a blue and green color respectively, known to artists from the earliest times. Both are native carbonates of copper, but are also prepared artificially. In its native state, however, bice is more durable, and in the case of green is especially much more brilliant. Artificial blue bice is known as Hambro blue, ongaro, mineral blue, etc.; artificial green bice, as mountain-green, Paul Veronese green, emerald green, verdetto, etc. BICEPS, the muscle which gives a full appearance to the front of the upper arm. Above, it consists of two portions, or heads-whence its name—one being attached to the coracoid process of the scapula, the other to the margin of the depression in that bone which receives the head of the humerus. The former is the short, the latter the long, head of the biceps. They unite to form a fleshy muscle, which terminates in a rounded tendon. The biceps tendon is inserted into the tubercle of the radius. Before passing to this insertion it gives off an expansion, which separates the medium basilic vein from the brachial artery in the situation generally selected for venesection. The action of the biceps is rapidly to bend the forearm and also to supinate the hand. The straight muscle of the thigh is known as the biceps cruris. It has a corresponding use to the biceps of the arm. BICESTER, a market town of Oxfordshire, Southern England, 12 miles N. E. of Oxford. There are manufactories of rope, clothing, sacking and pale ale, and several important fairs are annually held here. The ruins of Alia Castra, or Alcester, lie 11⁄2 miles to the southwest, on the ancient Roman Akeman Street. Population, 3,500. BICÊTRE, originally the name of a very old castle, in the neighborhood of Paris, commanding one of the finest views of the city, the Seine and the environs. It was destroyed in 1632, because it had become the hiding-place of thieves. It was rebuilt by Louis XIII, and made a hospital for old soldiers. Afterward it served as a prison for 2,000 culprits, mostly condemned to the galleys. After the erection of the Hôtel des Invalides, it was changed to a |
