I don't have the numbers to argue it, but my
impression was that the
library of Alexandria was a committment of a much higher percentage of the
available resources than any of those. ?If so, then it was "relatively"
larger (although admittedly smaller absolute size).
Most archaeologists seem to agree - the holdings of most of the
ancient libraries was 95 percent crap - bad poetry and horrid prose.
