John Montaņa asked "... did Archimedes and Pythagoras and the other great intellects of the day have their own personal libraries full of books nicked from the great public libraries, or just never returned because they ddn't want to pay the late fee?"

The biography of Cicero, by Anthony Everitt, describes how publishing and personal libraries functioned in the second half of the 1st century BCE.

Best regards,

Fred
