bibliotheca
Scholarly book repository
Bibliotheca is a formal or archaic term for a library or collection of books.
The word appears in the names of certain classical and medieval book collections, and occasionally in scholarly or ecclesiastical contexts: The monastery's bibliotheca contained rare manuscripts.
In modern English, library has almost entirely displaced it.
