In this video, we talk about the origins of library science at the legendary Library of Alexandria. During the 3rd century BCE, the immense collection of scrolls posed a major organizational challenge. Learn how Pharaoh Ptolemy II tasked the scholar Callimachus of Cyrene with creating a system to manage this vast knowledge. This led to the creation of the Pinakes, the world's first comprehensive library catalog. We'll examine how Callimachus organized works by subject and author, included biographical details, and even made critical notes on the texts, laying the foundation for modern bibliography and literary criticism.
