Kallimachos: The Alexandrian Library and the Origins of Bibliography

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the contributions of Kallimachos of Kyrene, this study explores his role as the second director of the Library of Alexandria and his invention of essential scholarly tools, including the library catalog and biobibliographical references. Kallimachos's expansion of inventory lists into the Pinakes created a comprehensive Greek national bibliography, influencing future bibliographic practices. Although the original Pinakes are lost, the author provides a detailed reconstruction of Kallimachos's work through careful analysis of surviving sources, presented in full translation.
