Trivia[]
- The library in London is a massive and famous library, considered the largest in Europe.[2][3]
- The Los Angeles Institute's library was small, even smaller than New York's; it is possible that it is considered the Great Library because of its well-known large collection of Greek and Latin books, and books on the magic and occultism of the classical period.[3]
