I still wonder if any “new” ancient writings—lost save for mentions by other writers (as with the works of the philosopher Chryssipus), or even previously unknown authors—may yet come out of that library.
I wish the intellectual midgets of the 19th century had left the scrolls alone. They destroyed a significant fraction of the cache by attempting to unroll them. Well, we got four words out of that one. Let's keep doing what we're doing. The works known so far were otherwise unknown, if memory serves, and were all on Epicurean philosophy, oh boy. There's been recent groundless speculation that, since the house has now been found to have had two storeys, that the library also has a second storey, and will be filled with more scrolls.
