In The Idea of the Library in the Ancient World Yun Lee Too argues that the ancient library was much more than its incarnation at Alexandria, which has been the focus for students of the subject up till now. In fact, the library is a complex institution with many different forms. It can be a building with books, but it can also be individual people, or the individual books themselves. In antiquity, the library's functions are numerous: as an instrument of power, of memory,of which it has various modes; as an articulation of a political ideal, an art gallery, a place for sociality.

Nel corso dei secoli i Greci e i Romani, come altre civiltà del Mediterraneo e del Vicino Oriente, hanno utilizzato supporti diversi per condividere e tramandare testi, informazioni, memorie: tavolette di legno, laminette metalliche, frammenti ceramici, soprattutto strisce e fogli di pergamena e di papiro, uniti tra loro in varie forme. Il volume ricostruisce le tappe principali della riscoperta di questi materiali scrittori, dalla fine del XVIII secolo fino ai ritrovamenti più recenti, ne illustra caratteristiche e modalità di impiego, ne indaga la genesi e le evoluzioni, alla luce delle trasformazioni più generali delle società di cui erano il prodotto. Grazie a una combinazione di fonti letterarie e reperti archeologici, questo studio delinea un affresco inedito e avvincente della storia della cultura scritta antica tra Oriente e Occidente, dall’età arcaica alle soglie del Medioevo, dalla nascita del rotolo all’avvento del codice, il diretto antenato del libro odierno. --Carocci editore

"The circulation of books was the motor of classical civilization. But books were both expensive and rare, and so libraries - private and public, royal and civic - played key roles in articulating intellectual life. This collection, written by an international team of scholars, presents a fundamental reassessment of how ancient libraries came into being, how they were organized, and how they were used. Drawing on papyrology and archaeology, and on accounts written by those who read and wrote in them, it presents new research on reading cultures, on book collecting, and on the origins of monumental library buildings. Many of the traditional stories told about ancient libraries are challenged. Few were really enormous, none were designed as research centres, and occasional conflagrations do not explain the loss of most ancient texts. But the central place of libraries in Greco-Roman culture emerges more clearly than ever"--

This delightful book tells the story of ancient libraries from their very beginnings, when "books" were clay tablets and writing was a new phenomenon. Renowned classicist Lionel Casson takes us on a lively tour, from the royal libraries of the most ancient Near East, through the private and public libraries of Greece and Rome, down to the first Christian monastic libraries. To the founders of the first public libraries of the Greek world goes the credit for creating the prototype of today's library buildings and the science of organizing books in them.Casson recounts the development of ancient library buildings, systems, holdings, and patrons, addressing questions on a wide variety of topics, such as:• What was the connection between the rise in education and literacy and the growth of libraries?• Who contributed to the early development of public libraries, especially the great library at Alexandria?• What did ancient libraries include in their holdings?• How did ancient libraries acquire books?• What was the nature of publishing in the Greek and Roman world?• How did different types of users (royalty, scholars, religious figures) and different kinds of "books" (tablets, scrolls, codices) affect library arrangements?• How did Christianity transform the nature of library holdings?Just as a library yields unexpected treasures to a meandering browser, this entertaining book offers to its perusers the surprising history of the rise and development of ancient libraries-a fascinating story never told before.

Locum Armarium Libros propose une approche singulière pour aborder la circulation des livres et le rôle des bibliothèques durant l'Antiquité gréco-romaine, en croisant les données archéologiques, historiques et philologiques. Par son objet de recherche, ce volume se veut multidisciplinaire et rassemble en effet les contributions de plusieurs spécialistes et de jeunes chercheurs portant sur des thématiques variées telles que les archives mycéniennes, les bibliothèques d'Athènes, d'Alexandrie et de Rome, la production de livres en Égypte tardoantique, les littératures grecque et étrusque ou encore la réception des auteurs anciens dans les bibliothèques humanistes. Par conséquent, ce livre ne représente pas uniquement une synthèse approfondie mais il constitue aussi un véritable essai critique de reconstruction du monde classique à travers le prisme d'une « civilisation de l'écriture » au sein de laquelle les livres et les bibliothèques pouvaient exprimer une pluralité de significations culturelles, idéologiques et de propagande politique.
