From the Bibliographical Society: “Founded in 1450 by Pope Nicholas V to promote Humanistic studies, the Vatican Library is one of the world’s most famous libraries. Often viewed principally as a repository of manuscripts, it preserves much more, including printed books, graphic prints, and coins and medals.
This visit is made possible by the generous consent of his excellency Abp. Giovanni Cesare Pagazzi, Librarian and Archivist of the Holy Roman Church, and the Rev. Mauro Mantovani, SDB, the Library’s Prefect. Our host is Dr Stephen Metzger of the Manuscripts Department.”
