The Muslims had a whack at it as well. Much great literature and history were lost. It was a great crime. If it hadn't been destroyed its contents would have made those who are claiming so much for Christianity's history look like they had nothing at all.
Another example would be the spanish destruction of the Mayan codices...one survived but the rest were lost.....kind of like the episode of the Simpson's where Homer gets smart and while doing his taxes he mathematically proves there is no god...Ned Flanders looks at it mumbles and goes "well what do you know..he is right" and then promptly burns it with a lighter and says "can't let that get out"
