	塞尔苏斯图书馆在土耳其的位置

塞尔苏斯图书馆（希腊语：Βιβλιοθήκη του Κέλσου）是一座位于今土耳其西部伊兹密尔省塞尔丘克附近，即安纳托利亚以弗所的古罗马建筑。这座建筑物于公元110年代由罗马共和国的执政官提比留斯·尤利乌斯·阿奎拉·波莱米安努斯（Tiberius Julius Aquila Polemaeanus）委托建造，作为他父亲提比留斯·尤利乌斯·塞尔苏斯·波莱米安努斯（英语：Tiberius_Julius_Celsus_Polemaeanus）的纪念碑，后者曾是亚细亚的前资深执政官^[1]^[2]。这座图书馆在罗马皇帝哈德良统治时期完成，大约是在阿奎拉去世后的某时期落成。^[3]^[4]

塞尔苏斯图书馆被认为是一个建筑奇迹，是罗马帝国内仅存的希腊-罗马世界古代图书馆建筑的代表性案例。是仅次于亚历山大图书馆和别加摩斯图书馆（英语：Library_of_Pergamum）的第三大图书馆，据信曾收藏大约12,000卷书籍。^[5]其中塞尔苏斯则被埋葬在图书馆下方一个装饰著大理石石棺的墓穴。^[6]^[7]内部面积约为180平方米（2,000平方英尺）。^[8]

图书馆内部在公元262年的一次火灾中被摧毁，该火灾可能是由地震或哥特战争（英语：Gothic_Wars）引起的。^[9]^[7] 外立面则于10或11世纪的地震中倒塌。^[10]数个世纪以来，它一直是一片废墟，直到1970年至1978年期间，考古学家透过原物归位重新建立了立面。^[11]

历史

塞尔苏斯图书馆是现存为数不多的古罗马图书馆之一，证明公共图书馆不但兴建于罗马城，而且可见于全罗马帝国，其建筑风格古罗马公共建筑的黄金典范。其前立面已被重建，这个大规模的修复工程方法相对忠于原来结构。塞尔苏斯图书馆可能是帝国其他地方未能保存下来图书馆的样本，因为其他罗马城市也有可能收藏文献，以使学生以及旅行的罗马人受益。这种图书馆可能也收藏当地文献，如果它们没有在罗马征服期间被毁。圣奥尔本斯和切姆斯福德就拥有这种罗马图书馆。

该大厦是一个大厅，根据维特鲁威的建议，面向东方，以充分利用早晨的光线。该图书馆建在一个平台上，前方有9级与整个建筑同宽的台阶，通向三个入口。中央的入口大于侧翼的两个入口，每个入口上方都以窗户进行装饰。入口两侧是四对立在基座上的爱奥尼柱。一列科林斯柱直接立在第一列柱子上方，增加了建筑物的高度。第二层的柱子划分出窗户，如同第一层的柱子划分出门，也设有壁龛以安放雕像。据认为有可能存在第三列柱子，但今天只有两列柱子。

该建筑的其他侧面在建筑上无关重要，因为图书馆的两侧都是建筑物。

建筑的内部没有完全恢复，是一个长方形的房间，宽17米，长11米，在半圆形后殿里有一尊塞尔苏斯或智慧女神雅典娜的雕像^[12]，一个拱形室的正下方为塞尔苏斯的墓。其他三面是长方形的凹槽，设有书柜和书架，存放12,000卷书。据说塞尔苏斯留下了25000迪纳厄斯的遗产以支付图书馆的阅读材料。

到达第二层和第三层的一组楼梯修入了墙体，为建筑增加了支撑，也有类似的壁龛存放书籍。天花板是平坦的，有可能中心是一个方形天窗，以提供更多的光线。

该图书馆的风格，连同华丽，平衡，计划周密的立面，反映了古希腊对罗马建筑的影响。建筑材料包括砖，混凝土，意味2世纪左右新材料在罗马帝国得到使用。

该建筑的立面描绘在2001-2005年2000万土耳其里拉纸币^[13]和2005-2009年20新里拉纸币的反面^[14]。
