본 연구는 알렉산드리아 대 도서관의 성립사 연구에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 사실 그 동안 연구결과물은 Pinakes 목록이나 그편자로 알려진 Callimachus에 집중되었다. 그러나 이러한 연구도 한국의 경우 전무한 실정이다. 창시자와 실행자라는 각각의 역할을 분담한 Ptolemaios I세 Demetrius 두 사람의 업적으로 이루어진 Alexandria 대 도서관은 인류가 최초로 세계에 대한 지식을 집대성한 복합 문화기관이다. 알렉산드리아 대 도서관의 설립은 책의 출판과 상업적 매매의 거대한 성장에 따른 자연스러운 결과였다. 그렇지만 헬레니즘 시대에 관한 언급에서 우선 순위는 알렉산드리아 도서관이다. 알렉산드리아 도서관은 그리스인들에게 그 시대에 있어, 그리스인들의 지적 최고의 상징이었으며, 독립된 국가로서 연방에 불과하던 그리스인들을 하나로 결합하게 해 주었던 통합 요소이기도 하였다. 또한 그 당시로는 놀라울 정도로 책의 축적이 가능했던 것에는 세 가지 중요한 이유가 있었다. 첫째, 그리스 세계와 동방 사이의 관계 개방, 둘째, 내용비평 연구에서 새로운 문학 분야의 소개이며. 마지막으로는 이집트 프톨레마이오스 왕조의 첫 번째 왕 Soter가 가장 두드러지게 보여 주었던 책에 대한 애정 때문이었다. 이러한 세계적 도서관으로 구상했던 알렉산드리아 대 도서관의 성립과 쇠락에 대한 연구는 도서관문화라는 측면에서 매우 가치가 높다.
