While the myth of Christians “burning the Great Library of Alexandria” is far more widespread, it is often claimed they also destroyed the Library of Antioch. There, on a page with the dramatic title “Darkness Descends on the Greco-Roman World”, Humphreys assures us thus:364 Emperor Jovian orders the burning of the Library of Antioch. To begin with, it talks about the “Royal Library of Antioch”, founded by the Seleucid king Antiochus III around 221 BC. After a few details, it then states categorically that “The Royal Library of Antioch was destroyed in 363 AD by the Christian Emperor Jovian”. The Royal Library is a likely destination for them, but given the library Jovian destroyed was not “the Royal Library of Antioch”, the claim these books were somehow the victim of Jovian’s burning does not really work.
