Excerpt from Selections From the Septuagint: According to the Text of Swete
Among the royal buildings was the famous Museum with its cov ered walk and arcades, and its hall for the fellows of the Museum, as Professor Mahaffy aptly calls them, to dine in.1 This institution had endowments of its own, and was presided over by a priest, who was appointed by the King, and, at a later period, by the Emperor.
What relation, if any, the Alexandrian Library, which was the great glory of the Ptolemies, bore to the Museum, is net clear. The Museum stood there in Roman times, and became known as the old Museum, when the emperor Claudius reared a new structure by its side, and ordained that his own immortal histories of the Etruscans and Carthaginians should be publicly read aloud once every year, one in the old building and the other in the new (suet. Gland. The library however is related to have been burnt during Caesar's operations in Alexandria. Not a word is said on this subject by the historian of the Alexandrian War, but Seneca2 incidentally refers to the loss of volumes.
