Michelangelo!It was Charlemagne. He did not actually assemble a library. He commissioned monks and abbots to copy Roman manuscripts. These copies were preserved in monasteries and abbeys around Europe. They were forgotten for centuries. With the rebirth in interest in the Romans in the run up to and during the Renaissance Italian scholars scoured the monasteries and abbeys around Europe in search of these manuscripts. Without Charlemagne, we would have lost most of what we know about the Romans.
The major event that led to new scholars arriving with previously unknown classical manuscripts was the fall of Constantinople in 1453. This event prompted many Greek scholars to flee to Western Europe, bringing with them valuable texts from the ancient Greek and Roman world that had been preserved in the Byzantine Empire. Their arrival contributed significantly to the Renaissance, as these manuscripts revitalized interest in classical knowledge and learning.

It was not a culture which preserved Roman manuscripts. It was the Emperor Charlemagne who ordered monks around Europe to transcribe Roman manuscripts in the early 9th century. The Italian humanists of the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance travelled around the abbeys and monasteries of Europe to find Roman writings. Greek writings and their knowledge were preserved in Greece in the Byzantine period. Few Latin translations of Greek works survived in the west and knowledge of the Greek language had waned. The Florentine humanist Coluccio Salutati invented the Byzantine scholar Manuel Chysoloras to Florence in 1397 to teach Greek to a select group of scholars. Interest in the Greeks increased after the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Greek scholars fled to Italy and taught Greek and Greek science and philosophy.
