Further checking reveals it is a somewhat confused issue. Ceaser may well have burnt the royal library to clear ground for defensive purposes. It all seems that many scrolls surving and those in other libraries may have been destroyed by Christian Mobs, anything remaining being burnt by the first Arab Rulers.
