lost book collections

[richsc]

Caius and I were talking book collections. Although it may seem morbid, we were pondering the question of what happens to their collections when a Roman scholar or other avid collector of books 'shuffles off this mortal coil'. What are some of the good libraries that might be willing to peruse the books and give them a home? The classics prof's at Va Tech say I have a better collection, even such as it is, on the Roman army than their entire library.<br>
Perhaps we need to do a matching library/bequest effort (not to push anyone prematurely). <p></p><i></i>
