I'm certian that you actually have to read books and I'm sure Rumple didn't leave magic books lying around, but maybe he was generous to Belle. No, she walked around with the magic book from Merlin's tower. And magically found the right page in seconds and how in the world wouldn't Merlin know what's in his own book. He said new magic he never saw. His book is very, very old. You're assuming Merlin's Tower, which is clearly part of Camelot Castle and thus created by Arthur not even 40 years ago, is filled with books on magic written by Merlin himself and not the Apprentice, who obviously refined his craft over the centuries. Obviously you don't know that the show has shown that the Tower was there since and likely before Arthur was a kid. It's there in the background.
