Abstract
In 1974, at the height of the French revolutionary terror, the abb Henri Grgoire, a member of the Convention and of its Committee of Public Instruction, presented a report to the Committee on the need for a national bibliography and a national library. He attacked the bibliophages eaters of books who wanted, in the name of the revolutionary republic, to destroy the accumulated books and libraries of the prerevolutionary era. The materials in these libraries, he argued, were national assets, which should all be listed in a national bibliography and made available to the nation in a great national library.
