  Abstract:  The hefty volume under review tackles a subject of great interest in the last decades, more precisely ancient libraries (royal, private, public) as catalysts for knowledge and power, succeeding to bring forward some new insights on the culture of the ancient world. The 21 contributors are prominent scholars from prestigious European and American institutions, who have been dealing with this subject for some time, making their joint effort a significant input on the current state of research. All of the essays here published were presented at the conference Ancient Libraries, held in September 2008 at the University of St Andrews, School of Classics, and organized by the volume’s editors: Jason König, Katerina Oikonomopoulou, and Greg Woolf.
