Ashur-bani-pal, the last great king of Assyria and the conqueror of Egypt, was also devoted to the encouragement of his country's art and to the preservation of its literature. He collected a great Library in his palace at Nineveh, sending out scribes to every city of Assyria and Babylonia to make copies of all the ancient texts. These were written in cuneiform characters on clay tablets, which were afterwards baked; they are here represented as stored upon shelves in the thickness of the wall. On the right are two scholars, for whom a librarian is fetching tablets.
