¿Qué significa "many" before a singular ?

I've come across a poem from Poe, the Raven, and it goes like this

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary
over many A quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore"

why is it "many a volume"? Does it have some particular meaning?

The same with "House Of The Rising Sun" by The Animals:

"and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy"
