Library patrons beware..

For him that stealeth, or borroweth and returneth not, this book from the owner...let him be struck with palsy, and all his members blasted... Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the worm that dieth not and when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of hell consume him forever.

Found in a medieval manuscript from the monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona.
