Who burned down the Library of Alexandria?
Under pagan Roman Emperor Aurelian, in A.D. 272, the greater part of the Brucheion was destroyed, and it is most probable that the library perished at this time, though Caesar had probably burnt some books for fuel being transferred to Rome earlier.
The small library in the Serapeum is supposed to have perished when the temple of Serapis was destroyed by Bishop Theophilus, but there is no definite statement to that effect.
