 According to this article

and the book it cites, some medieval scribes (who created books by hand)
wrote curses in their books, threatening book thieves with death, or worse.


When Penric was a student, the books he used were handmade.  I don't recall
curses in those books.  Were there any?  Can anyone suggest appropriate
curses to protect your favorite books?
