The first mention of ivory towers is in The Bible, Song of Solomon 7:4 (King James Version):
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
That biblical allusion is to the notion of ivory towers as symbols of virginal purity.
