“They say that Caliph Omar, when consulted about what had to be done with the library of Alexandria, answered as follows: 'If the books of this library contain matters opposed to the Koran, they are bad and must be burned.

The library would still have been burned, and that might well have been the finest moment in the life of this illustrious pontiff.”
