If the wealthy buy education it will be of more use than more wine…

The Lykeion, or Lyceum, in Athens was a meeting place named for Apollo Lyceus, patron god of the grove in which it was built. It was best known as a place of learning due to Aristotle’s 'Peripatetic School' debating there. The great philosopher kept a large collection of scrolls, which formed the basis of this early library. Aristotle also taught the Pharaohs in Egypt how to organise their libraries. Public libraries were rare as most books were in the private collections of wealthy men. The first purpose-built one was at Alexandria and it held some 750,000 scrolls. By comparison, the library in Pergamum 'only' had some 200,000 scrolls in its stacks.
