  1. "法老也听见了你的请求,希望能让女性在不需他人陪伴的状况下单独进入赛拉潘神殿这样的圣地。法老运用其智慧拒绝了这个请求。因为女性须由更加有智慧的男性指导,才能确保她们不会误解图书馆提供的丰富知识。比起缺乏知识,知识遭到扭曲当然更不理想。 法老与诸神将会赋予这份伟大的作品永恒的喜爱与保护。

    本信另有手写注解,由卡勒马科斯亲笔撰文—— 运用智慧个头。竟用这种自大的态度蒙蔽、阻挠世上整整一半的人!我是不会接受这种事的。只要有意愿,女人也应该能在赛拉潘神殿读书。 他想斩我首级,随他去。这世上被浪费的智慧已经够多。 我有女儿。而且,她会有读书的权利。"

  2. The Vanished Library - Luciano Canfora. It tells of warring librarians & catrocide: The book digs into the interesting details surrounding the Great Library of Alexandria and its rival, the Library of Pergamum. There are many juicy details here, such as the thwarted attempts to secure Aristotle’s Treatises. Neleus buried them in a cellar and offered only fakes or minor texts. The librarian book hunters who roamed the world and used dubious means to secure scrolls. The visiting Roman who killed a cat and was immediately murdered by an angry mob. Timons, disdainfully referred to the devoted copyists as a ‘nest of caged scribbblers’. The broader project was to obtain an original or copy of every piece of writing in the known world. As Umberto Eco said, ‘a library is the memory of humankind’. #Alexandria #greatlibrary #papyrus #pergamum #books
