His Beatitude Pope Theodoros II, the Orthodox Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and all Africa, visited the Library of Alexandria on 17 July 2019, accompanied with a senior ecclesiastical delegation. His Beatitude Pope Theodoros II toured the new Library of Alexandria and paid a special visit to the Restoration Laboratory affiliated to the Manuscripts Center to examine the Orthodox Greek Church manuscripts, which are currently restored at the BA.
Both His Beatitude Pope Theodoros II and Dr. Moustafa Elfeki, Director of the Library of Alexandria, emphasized that the cooperation between the BA and the Orthodox Greek Church has been very fruitful and rewarding.
It is worth noting that Dr. Elfeki, along with a delegation from the Library of Alexandria, visited the Patriarchate last year to augment the cooperation between the two parties.
