Pergamum was founded on the Aegean coast in what is now Bergama, Turkey. Source: Facts on File - Ancient History

Pergamum and Alexandria Ancient Libraries: Pergamum and Alexandria Legend: Ptolemy II, ruler of Alexandria, became so jealous of the competing Pergamum library that he banned the export of papyrus from Egypt. Last week we mentioned the ancient library at Alexandria, Egypt. The rulers of that library and the rulers of the Pergamum library, according to legend, developed an intense rivalry. Each wanted to have the very best library. So…Ptolemy II, ruler of Alexandria, banned the export of papyrus from Egypt. Remember…papyrus was what was used for writing. So…

Pergamum and Alexandria Ancient Libraries: Pergamum and Alexandria Legend continued… …the scribes at the Pergamum library were forced to transcribe text on parchment, a material made from animal skins, such as calf skin or sheep skin. So…the scribes at Pergamum were forced to find a new material on which to write. They began to use parchment, a material made from animal skins, such as calf skin or sheep skin.

Pergamum and Alexandria Ancient Libraries: Pergamum and Alexandria Fact Parchment was found to be much more durable than papyrus; thus, it came to replace papyrus as the main writing material in Europe. Soon…the scribes discovered that parchment was found to be a better writing material than papyrus. Thus…parchment became the main writing supply. Source: eLibrary

Ancient Libraries Today: Pergamum - The Ruins Today, of course, the libraries at Pergamum and Alexandria no longer exist as they were. Here you see the ruins of what archaeologists believe the ruins of the Pergamum Library in what is now the country of Turkey. Source: Grolier Multimedia

Ancient Libraries Today: Library at Alexandria Ancient Alexandria was home to a library, which was founded about 295 B.C. and burned to the ground in the fourth century. Ruins were never found. The auditoriums were found near the portico of the Roman Theater in the eastern part of the city. All the lecture halls are of identical dimensions. Source: World Book

Pergamum and Alexandria Ancient Libraries: Pergamum and Alexandria Sadly…the library at Alexandria was partially burned when Julius Caesar and his army attacked Alexandria.
