In the fall of 2012 he studied at Anthropologie et Histoire des Mondes Antiques in Paris, affiliated both at L’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales at the Sorbonne. Here, under fruitful guidance by Professor Christian Jacob, he spent some very long days reading in the Bibliothèque Gernet-Glotz. He also followed Jacobs’s courses on his theory of places of knowledge (lieux de savoir ). Olesen-Bagneux, Ole. The Memory Library: How the Library in Hellenistic Alexandria Worked. Knowl- edge Organization. 41(1), 3-13. 37 references. Abstract: For millennia the famous library in Hellenistic Alexandria has been praised as an epicenter of enlightenment and wisdom. And yet, a question still seems unanswered: how was its literature classified and retrieved? It is a subject that has been given surprisingly little attention by the field of library-and-information science―indeed, by scholarship in general. Furthermore, a certain way of thinking has influenced the few answers that have so far been attempted. It is as if the scholars of our era have tried to identify the modern, physical library in the Hellenistic library in Alexandria. But such an approach is biased in a basic way: It simply does not consider the impact of the cultural and intellectual context of the library. This article differs fundamentally, because I reject the notion that the library was like those of today. Accordingly, an entirely new way of understanding how the library actually worked, in terms
