Frederick John Teggart - Contributions Towards a Bibliography of Ancient Libraries

CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ANCIENT LIBRARIES. Ths bibliographical contribution here presented is the first section of an attempt towards a "library bibliography." It is hoped that it may prove useful in connection with the work of the various library schools and bibliographical courses. The present section ends with the establishment of Christianity in the ancient world, consequently no works dealing with Christian institutions are included. There are given, as nearly as possible, all classical references to libraries and all the writings of any importance which have appeared in print. Of the latter nearly 300 titles are listed, about one-half being of works in the compiler's possession. Although every effort has been made to verify the accuracy of the remaining half of the bibliography, a margin of error is unavoidably present because of the impossibility of seeing all the books included, and this applies also to a few references to later Greek and Roman authors whose works are not accessible.

The compiler will be grateful for any additions or corrections which may be communicated to him. SYNOPSIS. I. General. II. III. Greek. a, Alexandria. ^. Pergamon. IV. Roman. a, Herculaneum. V. library management and bibliography. I. GSNSRAL. GSNSRAL.
