Yet, almost all these books are now lost....

What did these books contain?

Many were literary works; but also many books were about astronomy, science, math, history, philosophy, etc....

It was rumoured that the Library even contained a two volume encyclopdia about the world that had been written before a great catastrophe destroyed it....
I wanna be Bill Gates and fund the finding of the Library.

But my greatest wish: The Library to be only mine.
