Abstract

In The Idea of the Library in the Ancient World Yun Lee Too argues that the ancient library was much more than its incarnation at Alexandria, which has been the focus for students of the subject up till now. In fact, the library is a complex institution with many different forms. It can be a building with books, but it can also be individual people, or the individual books themselves. In antiquity, the library's functions are numerous: as an instrument of power, of memory,of which it has various modes; as an articulation of a political ideal, an art gallery, a place for sociality. Too indirect

Abstract

This is the first book to consider the development of all three cultural heritage institutions – libraries, archives, and museums – and their interactions with society and culture from ancient history to the present day in Western Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The text explores the social and cultural role of these institutions in the societies that created them, as well as the political, economic and social influences on their mission, philosophy, and services and how those changed throughout time. The work provides a thorough background in the topic for graduate students and professionals in the fields of library and information science, archival studies, and museum resource management, preservation, and administration. Arranged chronologically, the story begins with the temple libraries of ancient Sumer, followed the growth and development of governmental and private libraries in ancient Greece and Rome, the influence of Asia and Islam on Western library development, the role of Christianity in the preservation of ancient literature as well as the skills of reading and writing during the Middle Ages, and the coming of the Renaissance and the rise of the university library. It continues by tracing the gradual division between archives and libraries and the growth of governmental and private libraries as independent institutions during and after the Renaissance and through the Enlightenment, and the development of public and private museums from the “cabinets of curiousities” of private collectors beginning in the 17th century. Individual chapters explore the further growth and development of libraries, archives, and museums in the 19th and 20th centuries, exploring the public library and public museum movements of those centuries, as well as the rise of the governmental and institutional archive. The final chapter discusses the growing collaboration between and even convergence of these institutions in the 21st century and the impact of modern information technology, and makes predictions about the future of all three institutions.

Abstract

La relation entre les lecteurs et les bibliothèques est abordée du point de vue de l'histoire des usages du livre : temps de création des bibliothèques en Allemagne, en France, en Italie, en Espagne et en Amérique du Sud, acquisition et circulation des livres, réunion en collections, élaboration des connaissances littéraires ou scientifiques, censure, modalités d'accès aux savoirs, etc. ©Electre 2016 Le rapport entre bibliothèques et lecteurs est ici abordé du point de vue de l?histoire des bibliothèques et des différents usages du livre. Cet ouvrage cartographie d?abord le temps des créations de bibliothèques dans les aires germanique, française, italienne, espagnole et ibéro-américaine au cours d?un large XVIIe siècle. Dépassant une approche statique, on y interroge tout autant les circonstances de l?acquisition et de la circulation des livres réunis en collections, que celles de leur dissolution. En se resserrant sur la France, l?Italie et l?Allemagne au XVIIIe siècle, les bibliothèques sont ensuite considérées comme lieux d?élaboration de connaissances littéraires ou scientifiques, défiant la censure et assurant la rencontre entre le monde du texte et les imaginaires du lecteur. Lecture intensive ou extensive, à voix haute ou silencieuse, par extraction ou ± marginalisation dessinent des modalités d?accès aux savoirs mises en place au siècle des Lumières et restées en vigueur jusqu?à nos jours.

Abstract

"The circulation of books was the motor of classical civilization. But books were both expensive and rare, and so libraries - private and public, royal and civic - played key roles in articulating intellectual life. This collection, written by an international team of scholars, presents a fundamental reassessment of how ancient libraries came into being, how they were organized, and how they were used. Drawing on papyrology and archaeology, and on accounts written by those who read and wrote in them, it presents new research on reading cultures, on book collecting, and on the origins of monumental library buildings. Many of the traditional stories told about ancient libraries are challenged. Few were really enormous, none were designed as research centres, and occasional conflagrations do not explain the loss of most ancient texts. But the central place of libraries in Greco-Roman culture emerges more clearly than ever"--
