Footnotes

[ back ] 1. For an earlier discussion of my thoughts on this question see Jacob 2000.

[ back ] 2. Here Athenaeus’ inspiration is a reconstruction of the history of libraries that can be found in many other authors of the imperial period. Aulus Gellius, Attic Nights 7.17.1–2; Isidorus of Seville, Etymologies 6.3.3–5; Tertullian, Apology 18.5. Those authors may all refer to the same source (perhaps Varro’s On Libraries?). On this tradition see Canfora 1990 and Jacob 2000.

[ back ] 3. On the history of libraries in Rome see Langie 1908; Wendel 1955; Fedeli 1986; Blank 1992:152–78; and Pesando 1994.
