Journal Article
The Oriental Origins of the Alexandrian Library
1993
Overview
Examines the contribution of Near Eastern libraries to library history through their relationship to and possible influence on the ancient Alexandrian Library. Although not denying the substance of the traditional Greek thesis for the origin of the Alexandrian Library, the Oriental origins of the library are presented in a new light, relying upon Egyptian and Mesopotamian evidence. Original abstract-amended.
