Library

Although no great collection of books, such as the treasure of clay tablets in As syria, has ever been found in Egypt, there is sufficient evidence to show that collections of papyri were formed. A chamber in the temple at Edfu, off the Khent Hall, was a library, the catalogue of books being inscribed on its walls. The name of at least one librarian has come down to us, that of Amen-em-hat, director of the Theban Library under Ramses II.
