The original Greek form of bibliotheca; a library or collection of books.
From Greek biblio- (book) + theke (storage box/case). This is the pure Greek form before Latin adaptations, used in ancient and modern Greek contexts.
The ancient Greek 'bibliotheke' was literally a storage box for scrolls—the humble word reminds us that libraries started as practical solutions before they became grand intellectual institutions.
