|
This pioneering volume of essays explores the destruction of great
libraries since ancient times and examines the intellectual,
political and cultural consequences of loss. Fourteen original
contributions, introduced by a major re-evaluative history of lost
libraries, offer the first ever comparative discussion of the
greatest catastrophes in book history from Mesopotamia and
Alexandria to the dispersal of monastic and monarchical book
collections, the Nazi destruction of Jewish libraries, and the
recent horrifying pillage and burning of books in Tibet, Bosnia and
Iraq.
