Arrange the following ancient libraries in order of their origin with the help of codes given below :

(i) Library of Ashurbanipal
(ii) Library of Celsus
(iii) Library of Pergamum
(iv) Villa of the Papyri

  • A.(iii) (iv) (ii) (i)
  • B.(i) (iii) (iv) (ii)
  • C.(iv) (ii) (iii) (i)
  • D.(ii) (i) (iv) (iii)

Answer: B

The order of origin is (i) (iii) (iv) (ii).

  1. Library of Ashurbanipal, Nineveh: seventh century BCE, a royal collection of clay tablets.
  2. Library of Pergamum: built up by the Attalid kings in the third and second centuries BCE.
  3. Villa of the Papyri, Herculaneum: a private library of the first century BCE, buried by Vesuvius in 79 CE.
  4. Library of Celsus, Ephesus: built in the early second century CE.

Ashurbanipal's library is centuries older than the others, so it comes first, and only the second option begins with it.
