This review is from: Kallimachos: The Alexandrian Library and the Origins of Bibliography (Wisconsin Studies in Classics) (Hardcover)
The author discusses the life of Kallimachos, who lived during the reigns of Ptolemy I and II; he was the first librarian and bibliographer, as well as author of the first catalog titled Pinakes. Though this work has not survived, the author analyzes surviving sources and discusses the size of the library under Ptolemy II. The first English edition of this book, this is unquestionably serious and valuable for interested students and scholars.
