Talk:List of libraries in the ancient world

Rename?
Should this be re-named to make clear it is a list rather than an article? hamiltonstone (talk) 12:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I have read in the past of several mentions of a great library in ancient Antioch. I wish someone could find an online sourse for it so it could be included here and on the Antioch page. I could only find an online mention of it on a history blog. 24.177.159.68 (talk) 06:49, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

What's the time period of 'ancient world'? Should Baghdad's library (destroyed ~ 1258, founded ~800s) be included? (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Baghdad_%281258%29) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.196.31.51 (talk) 21:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

RE: Moving the Library of Alexandria
I have moved the list item regarding the Library of Alexandria from the "Africa" section to the "Greece and Rome" section because it was built and used during the Hellenistic empire of Alexander the Great. Otherwise many of the libraries listed under Greece and Rome would have to be put in illogical sections, such as the Imperial Library of Constantinople in "Asia Minor", "Anatolia", or "Turkey".

University Vs Library
Since it is a list of Libraries, not a list of universities or study centres, I strongly doubt whether Nalanda & Taxila can be included in this list. There is no evidence suggesting these study centres had actual libraries. --99v (talk) 08:44, 4 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't know about Taxila, but Nalanda seems to have been known to have a library. The page on Nalanda has a section dedicated to the library with the sources. ShellPandey (talk) 20:00, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The list of destroyed libraries includes Nalanda. Hence it must be included in this list. Wikiuser459 (talk) 10:45, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Where should wiki article *Yale Babylonian Collection go? Ed 2607:FEA8:4A2:4100:D84B:9F38:64B2:B650 (talk) 07:17, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
