A person responsible for guarding, cataloging, or managing rare manuscripts, ancient books, and precious literary treasures in a library or archive.
From Greek keimélia (treasures) plus -arch (ruler or guardian, from arkhós meaning 'leader'). This is a specialized museum/library term combining treasure + guardian.
A cimeliarch is like a literary archaeologist—they unlock the secrets of old texts and decide which fragile books are historically important enough to preserve for thousands of future readers.
