Nope - it burned down in total. Lots of knowledge was lost - I have heard it
postulated that if the library had not been burned down, we would have been
far more advanced today than we are. Apparently lots of knowledge was lost
that had to be rediscovered many years later.

Yes :) - I did not have a fast internet connection when doing the scene in
2000 and grabbed the first human-like model I could lay my hands on. But I
admit that Beethoven does not quite cut it in the Library...!
