CELCUS
LIBRARY - EPHESUS |
|
|
This
library is one of the most beautiful structures in
Ephesus. It was built in 117
A.D. It was a monumental tomb for Gaius
Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, the governor of the province
of Asia; from his son Galius Julius Aquila. The grave of
Celsus was beneath the ground
floor, across the entrance and there was a statue of Athena over
it. Because Athena was the goddess of the wisdom.
The scrolls of the manuscripts were kept in cupboards in niches on
the walls. There were double walls behind the bookcases to prevent
the them from the extremes of temperature and humidity. The
capacity of the library was more than 12,000 scrolls. It was the
third richest library in ancient times after the Alexandra and
Pergamum.
The facade of the library has two-stories, with Corinthian style
columns on the ground floor and three entrances to the building.
There is three windows openings in the upper story. They used an
optical trick that the columns at the sides of the facade are
shorter than those at the center, giving the illusion of the
building being greater in size.
The statues in the niches of the columns today are the copies of
the originals. The statues symbolize wisdom (Sophia), knowledge (Episteme),
intelligence (Ennoia) and valor (Arete). These are the virtues of
Celsus. The library was restored with the aid of the Austrian
Archaeological Institute and the originals of the statues were
taken to Ephesus Museum in Vienna in 1910.
There was an auditorium ,which was for lectures or presentations
between the library and the Marble Road, was built during the
reign of the Emperor Hadrian.
