From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
Bibliomaniac from the illustrated version of the Narrenschiff.
The woodcut is by Johann Geiler von Kaysersberg.
The text it refers to is:
Still am I busy bookes assemblynge,
For to have plentie it is a pleasant thynge,
In my conceyt, and to have them ay in hande,
But what they mene I do not understande.
Which in A Brief History of Wood-engraving from its Invention is rendered as:
"I have heaps of books which I rarely open. If I read them I forget them and am no wiser."
