Frederick felt ashamed to have a printing book in this library because he considered it as a inartistic source of information.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Duke Frederick is known to be a great manuscript dealer who constructed and maintained a magnificent library who was very famous at that times.
  • The library is filled with various books that he had either largely purchased or collected by himself or books that he would have written on his own.
  • In that library all the arts involved are perfectly beautiful and was written by skillful scribes.
  • One of the interesting fact about that library is that I never had a single printed book in its collection.
  • He would always consider printed books as trash and are designed by a mechanical work with inartistic feel and can only satisfy a group of uncultivated people.

Thus he always preferred manuscripts rather than printed books.
