Unlike some other comments here, I consider Prof. Edith Hall to be extremely well qualified and knowledgeable on the subject of this lecture. Her understanding and grasp of the Ancient Greek world is formidable, and she presents the creation, and the history of these Greek and Roman libraries with her customary flair for detail and depth of understanding - brilliant and fascinating :)

An important lecture in light of the new fundamentalism that threatens our heritage, and therefore our libraries.

I loved the Library at the University where I studied. It no longer exists, as the old buildings that housed the institution were sold and demolished. I assume that the collection was preserved in the Library of the University's new building, but I'm not sure as the institution as a whole has gone through serious financial problems in recent decades. If NATO achieves the war it wants against Russia, it is very likely that most of the magnificent European Libraries will be reduced to dust. Tragically, no one will miss them, as those who did not die in the explosions will be stunned, starving, and slowly dying of radiation sickness. Books are essential, until they become irrelevant because they helped maniacs build weapons and find arguments for any unnecessary war. The paradox of Libraries is evident: they preserve and destroy entire civilizations.

99% utter bunk re: Hypatia. The violence that killed her was political/factional in nature rather than religious Christian vs Pagan. At this point in time, the presence of Hypatia as a teacher was controversial for Pagans just as well as Christians.

I thought that it was fairly clear that Hall was recounting the drama of the film and then the story told by Kingsley rather than any accurate historic account. The point being the influence of libraries on culture, not what actually occurred in them.

Great lecture but Lord, all those people bunched in there without masks! And look what happened with Covid right after this. You'd think Gresham College would know better.

*By definition* you must be literate to be able to write, and someone who is illiterate must ask a literate person to write for him/her.
