Jacob,
What does the title of this weblog mean? What languate is it? Latin?

This blog’s motto, Usus libri, non lectio prudentes facit, is indeed Latin.
It is translated variously as “The use, not the reading, of a book makes men wise” or “Use, not reading merely reading creates sagacious people.” In either case, the point is that understanding and applying what you read is what’s important, not simply passively reading.
