The paper seeks to analyse the case of the theologian Tinius, one of the best-known representatives of >book- addiction< (bibliomania), as it is described in authentic contemporary documents, popular literature and fictionalised adaptations. Explanations of the phenomenon range from a special socialisation, rational calculation, criminal anthropology, and the >Faustian urge for knowledge<, to diabolical bibliophily and a theology of sin. A historical synopsis shows the heterogeneity of the contemporary criminal and psychiatric discourse on bibliomania as a >literary disease<. The continuing reception of the bibliomania exemplified by Tinius in a variety of literary genres suggests that it incorporates a considerable amount of >social energy<, based on the fascination with the >Other< of reason.
