Whether or not the command is an intangible one, there are too many instances of the scholar's success being based wholly on the number of fly-leaves bearing his name. It has been said somewhere that the true scholar never creates; he delves into the past and criticizes. Practically all academic presses are engaged in printing and binding these gleanings.
