| Zusammenfassung: | Libraries of the ancient world have long held a space in the public imagination. The library at Alexandria, even during antiquity, was nearly legendary. Until now there has been relatively little research done to learn what was inside these libraries, who wrote the book rolls, who maintained and protected the holdings, and how those ancient collections came to be. This book examines the complex world of ancient libraries, from Greece, Italy, and Egypt, spanning four centuries from Cicero to Constantine |
