LIBRARY OF THE KING OF ASSYRIA ASSHURBANIPAL– a true pearl ancient era. This king in the 5th century BC. e. gathered in the capital of his state, Nineveh large library – “HOUSE OF INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE”. He sent his representatives, experienced scribes, to different cities of Mesopotamia, who searched for ancient books and made copies of them. Many tablets had a postscript that confirmed the accuracy of the copy. The library itself was located in the Lion Hall of the luxurious palace. The library in Nineveh was maintained in exemplary order, and the book storage system helped to restore and read scattered works. Each book had a “library stamp”: “The palace of Ashurbanipal, king of kings, king of the country of Ashur, to whom the god Nabu and the goddess Gaslista bestowed sensitive ears and keen eyes to search for the works of the writers of my kingdom.”
The library had a catalog, which consisted of tiles indicating the title of the work (by its first line), as well as the rooms and shelves where it was stored. A label, the size of a little finger, was attached to the shelf with the name of the branch of knowledge. The library contained a wide variety of literature in several languages. The Sumerians left works on mathematics, history, agriculture, literary works, and ancient maps. But when Nineveh fell under the onslaught of the troops of Babylonia and Media, the city suffered complete destruction. The fire partially damaged the book collection - the tablets fell into the basement and lay there for 25 centuries.
The surviving texts are currently in the British Museum.
FIRST GREEK LIBRARY was founded in the 5th century BC. e. in Athens. Book collecting among the Greeks took on especially large proportions during the time of Pericles in the 5th century BC. e. Efidem, a passionate lover of books, had in his library the works of Homer and other poets. The tragedian Euripides had an equally large collection of books. The most remarkable collection of books, numbering 40 thousand scrolls, was that of the greatest scientist of antiquity - Aristotle. His student Alexander the Great took part in the creation of this library. The value of the library was so great that kings of neighboring states tried to steal it more than once.
ALEXANDRIAN- the largest and most famous library of antiquity was founded in the 8th century BC. e. King Ptolemy I, who made Alexandria the capital of Egypt after the death of Macedon, conceived the idea of creating a grandiose library. The Ptolemies spent countless amounts of money acquiring literary treasures. All ships landing at the Alexandrian harbor were required to carry manuscripts with them. Ptolemy I bought Aristotle's library for enormous money.
The Library of Alexandria was created in the image and likeness of the Greek ones. It was part of the Museyon - the Temple of the Muses. The Museyon was an architectural ensemble with a university, observatory, botanical garden and library. All this was surrounded by parks and gardens.
The library was housed in several large rooms. The scrolls were stored in cedar wood cabinets with horizontal shelves that were closed with double doors. Each scroll was placed in a special case, to which were attached small plaques with the title of the work. The halls where the bookcases stood were decorated with statues of great writers and scientists. Adjoining the halls were rooms for assistants to the chief librarian. Some of them kept records of all new acquisitions. Others sorted out the manuscripts, while others preserved the manuscripts from moths, worms, and dampness. The position of chief librarian was occupied by outstanding scientists and poets.
At its peak, the library, which existed for 6 centuries, had 700 thousand books. The library contained everything that Greek civilization had created: works of poets, historians, orators, doctors, mathematicians. There were books by Roman, Egyptian, Syrian, Indian, and Jewish authors. Books varied in form: scrolls, palm leaves, codices. The manuscripts were heterogeneous in their degree of antiquity and in their rarity. The whiteness, thinness and density of papyrus, and its polishing were valued.

It was in the St. Sophia Cathedral, on behalf of Yaroslav the Wise, that the chronicle began to be written. At various times, attempts were made to at least approximately determine the fund of this book collection.
It was very difficult to preserve the library at that time. It was believed that the St. Sophia Cathedral consisted of a number of libraries: some perished, and new ones arose in their place. In 1169, for example, Mstislav, the son of Andrei Bogolyubsky, plundered the cathedral for three days and took away all the books. In 1203, Sofia was plundered by the Polovtsians and Russian princes, and again the book stock suffered. The further fate of the library is unknown.
The second largest cultural center in ANCIENT Rus' was Novgorod the Great. Over the centuries, this city has accumulated and preserved ancient monuments Russian writing. They were located in the St. Sophia Cathedral. And here books perished from numerous fires, but the city escaped the Tatar-Mongol invasion, therefore, of the total number of books of the ΧΙΙ - ΧΙV centuries, more than half belong to Novgorod. It was here that the first dated handwritten book, the “Ostromir Gospel,” created by Deacon Gregory, was preserved.
The library itself was under the supervision of the Novgorod ruler. Monks from remote Russian monasteries came to the library and copied books here. The book fund consisted of about a thousand handwritten books bound in leather.
What did this library look like? It's amazing that it can be viewed today. Now it is open in the same place where it was located before - in a long suite of halls in the choir of the cathedral. The furnishings in the library recreate the atmosphere of antiquity. Here you can even light candles, and your imagination will easily take you to times long past, when chroniclers wrote that “Great is the benefit of bookish teaching”.
The significance of ancient Russian libraries, which were educational institutions, book workshops, and “book guardians,” is enormous: they saved and preserved for us the most valuable monuments of antiquity.
Currently, there are a huge number of libraries.
Considered to be the largest in the world LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, founded in 1980 and housed in the majestic Thomas Jefferson Building on Capitol Hill across from Congress. Its holdings include about 900 million items, from papyri to microfilms. There are more than 20 million books and brochures in 60 languages, 36 million manuscripts. There are also unique things, for example, collections of cartographic materials - about 4 million maps and atlases; musical collection - 7 million units, including 5 Stradivarius violins. As well as more than 10 million engravings, photographs, products folk art; 500 thousand sound recordings, 400 thousand reels of film, millions of microfilms. They were placed on shelves with a total length of 860 km.
Next largest – NATIONAL LIBRARY OF FRANCE. This is an ancient library - already in 1377, its catalog contained 910 manuscripts. Over the years, the library's book treasures increased, but it still belonged to the French kings. Only in 1795, during the Great French Revolution, the library was declared national. By decree of the Convention, it was decided to build a special building for the library. Now the collections of the National Library of France number 30 million items.
Next on the list - RUSSIAN NATIONAL LIBRARY. By the highest order of Catherine II dated January 1, 2001, the Public Library was founded in St. Petersburg. A special building was built for it, where the library is located today. The first director, Alexey Nikolaevich Olenin, created the library almost from scratch - there were only 4 Russian books in its collection. The library opened for readers in January 1814. The famous librarians of Publicchka collected books so actively that today it is famous for its largest collection of Russian books, including those published abroad. In 1992 it received its new name. Its fund is 32 million books.
Today, on the site of what burned in ancient times ALEXANDRIA LIBRARY A modern library is being built, equipped with the latest technology for storing and accessing literature in digital format. Architects from many countries presented 1,400 of their projects, from which the commission chose the Norwegian one. In 1988, the first stone of the new Library of Alexandria was laid. At the site where it was laid, traces of previous archaeological excavations were visible: three statues, a water supply system and a mosaic-lined area were found.
The new library is a building with a diameter of 60 meters with a section facing the sea. It represents the disk of the sun, a deity that has always been worshiped in Egypt.
