Final Jeopardy Explanation – Friday, February 24 2023
The Great Library of Alexandria, located in Alexandria, Egypt, was one of the world’s largest and most important libraries, most likely founded during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The library was determined to obtain a copy of every book ever written.
Ptolemy II became so obsessed with his library, according to Galen, that he ordered that any books discovered aboard ships calling at Alexandria be taken away and copied by official scribes.
Ptolemy kept the originals and returned the copies to the owners. These books were subsequently labelled “from the ships.”
