helluo librorumn.

Brit.

/ˌhɛljʊəʊ lᵻˈbrɔːrəm/, U.S.

/ˌhɛljuoʊ ləˈbrɔrəm/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin helluo librorum.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin helluo librorum (in some medieval manuscripts of Cicero) < classical Latin helluō helluo n. + librōrum , genitive plural of liber book (see library n.¹).In early editions of Cicero De Finibus 3. 7, it is said that Cato ‘quasi helluo librorum..videatur’ (‘appeared like a glutton for books’); the modern reading, restored from manuscript evidence by Jan Gruter in his edition of 1618, is ‘quasi helluari libris..videatur’ (‘appeared as if to devour books’).

Now rare.

An insatiable reader, a bookworm.

1635 S. Birckbek Protestants Evid. (new ed.) xii. 4 One of these brothers was called Comestor.., as it were booke-eater, because he was such a Helluo librorum, a devourer of bookes.

1738 Relig. of Nature Delineated (ed. 6) Pref. p. ix He was of Opinion too That a man might easily read too much: And he considered the Helluo Librorum and the True Scholar as two very different Characters.

1841 U.S. Mag. & Democratic Rev. Sept. 299 We would not style him exactly a helluo librorum, but rather a sort of antiquarian epicure of letters.

1942 E. K. Chambers Sheaf of Stud. 153 He [sc. Coleridge] does not mention the Bodleian, but it would be odd if such a helluo librorum did not see it.
