kind. These were chiefly from
Egypt, and they were made up of
rolls of payprus.
Ashur -bani-pal was unable to read
the Egyptian language, but he was
glad to get the papyrus books. The
papyrus was something like our
modern paper. and the writing on it
was done with ink.
AS time went on, the King en-
larged his library Many Of the books
were in the Babylonian language;
others were written in Assyrian. All
were made by hand; no such thing
as printed book was known in
Assyria, Babylonia or Egypt.
In time the Assyrian monarch
gathered a total of about Is, 900 clay
tablets, along with hundreds Of
papyrus rolls. Some of the clay
tablets were of very small size
about 2 inches square. Others were
as much as a foot square.
One day the King called his scribe
to his side and told him to write
the following words on a fresh clay
tablet:
I'm my respect for Nebo, god of
intelligence, I have collected these
books. I have had them copied. I
have marked them with my name
and have placed them In my palace. !"
The power Of Nineveh came to an
end soon after the King died, and
the city at length became a heap of
ruins. More than score of CEN
turies went by before a traveller
from Western Europe reached the
spot and gazed on what looked like
mound of rubbish"
Thinking that the mound might
contain the remains of the great
library of Nineveh, the visitor
brought about an effort to dig into
It. Inside were found thousands Of
the ancient books. Scholars set to
work on them and translated some
Of them into English and other
languages.

because of his military and public
