"A peculiar anthologic maze, an amusing literary chaos, a farrago of quotations, a mere olla podrida of quaintness, a pot pourri of pleasant delites, a florilegium of elegant extracts, a tangled fardel of old-world flowers of thought, a faggot of odd fancies, quips, facetiae, loosely tied" (Holbrook Jackson, Anatomy of Bibliomania) by a "laudator temporis acti," a "praiser of time past" (Horace, Ars Poetica 173).

Terence, Phormio 41-42 (tr. John Barsby):
How unfair life is, when the have-nots are expected to contribute all the time to the haves!
quam inique comparatumst, ii qui minus habent
ut semper aliquid addant ditioribus!
