Rudolf Blum's landmark study, originally published in German in 1977, argues that Kallimachos of Kyrene was not only the second director of the Alexandrian library but also the inventor of two essential scholarly tools still in use to this day: the library catalog and the "biobibliographical" reference work. Kallimachos expanded the library's inventory lists into volumes called the Pinakes, which extensively described and categorized each work and became in effect a Greek national bibliography and the source and paradigm for most later bibliographic lists of Greek literature. Though the Pinakes have not survived, Blum attempts a detailed reconstruction of Kallimachos's inventories and catalogs based on a careful analysis of surviving sources, which are presented here in full translation. 410 0$aWisconsin studies in classics. 606 $aBibliography$zEgypt$zAlexandria$xHistory 606 $aCataloging$zEgypt$zAlexandria$xHistory 606 $aGreek literature$xBibliography$xMethodology 606 $aLibraries$zEgypt$zAlexandria$xHistory$yTo 400 607 $aGreece$xBibliography$xMethodology 615 0$aBibliography$xHistory. 615 0$aCataloging$xHistory. 615 0$aGreek literature$xBibliography$xMethodology. 615 0$aLibraries$xHistory 676 $a027.032 700 $aBlum$b Rudolf$f1909-$0186151 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965669003321 996 $aKallimachos$91285431 997 $aUNINA
