Goodman., 0, , The Vatican Library contains the richest collection of western manuscripts and early printed books in the world, and its holdings have both reflected and helped to shape the intellectual development of Europe. One of the central institutions of Italian Renaissance culture, it has served since its origin in the mid-fifteenth century as a center of research for topics as diverse as the early history of the city of Rome and the structure of the universe. This extraordinarily beautiful book which contains over 200 color illustrations, introduces the reader to the Vatican Library and examines in particular its development during the Renaissance. Distinguished scholars discuss the Library's holdings and the historical circumstances of its growth, presenting a fascinating cast of characters - popes, artists, collectors, scholars, and scientists - who influenced how the Library evolved. The authors examine subjects ranging from Renaissance humanism to Church relations with China and the Islamic world to the status of medicine and the life sciences in antiquity and during the Renaissance. Their essays are supported by a lavish display of maps, books, prints, and other examples of the Library's collection, including the Palatine Virgil (a fifth-century manuscript), a letter from King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, and an autographed poem by Petrarch., , , 1993.110, , , Biblioteca apostolica vaticana, 2, 0, Exhibitions., Renaissance, Renaissance, , , 0, 0, Exhibitions., Exhibitions., Italy, Rome, Rome (Italy), , 0, Exhibitions., Civilization, Grafton, Anthony., 1, , Library of Congress., 2, , Baker & Taylor, BKTY, 85.00, 85.00, 0300054424, , , 0002201006, active, HELD BY AP$ - 357 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a28065652zUKMdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummarytContentsu20130830, a464371819zHTVbHARVARD UNIV, VILLA I TATTIhFull batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100802, a630131137zHTVbHARVARD UNIV, VILLA I TATTIhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100709, a230519645zHFLbHARVARD UNIV, FINE ARTS LIBRhFull batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100721, a630123386zHFLbHARVARD UNIV, FINE ARTS LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100709, a150890220zRPYbAMERICAN ACAD IN ROMEhOtheru20100727, a270247624zAN#bMORGAN LIBR & MUSEUM THEhFulliLCCkDDCu20100726, a133637125zRBNbBROWN UNIVhFulltContentsu20100716, a176795125zPULbPRINCETON UNIVhFullu20100710, a613775307zHHGbHARVARD UNIV, HOUGHTON LIBRhFull batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100726, a629895086zHHGbHARVARD UNIV, HOUGHTON LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100711, a231940591zCNNGCbNATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA LIBRhFullu20100726, a234364162zMHUAMbHARVARD UNIV ART MUShFull batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100729, a629895089zMHUAMbHARVARD UNIV ART MUShLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100705, a465442677zHCHbHARVARD UNIV, CTR FOR HELLENIC STUDIEShFull batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100711, a629895088zHCHbHARVARD UNIV, CTR FOR HELLENIC STUDIEShLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100803, a698981319zCMAbCLEVELAND MUS OF ARThFulliLCCu20110129, a467640989zDDObDUMBARTON OAKS RES LIBRhFull batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100724, a630115424zDDObDUMBARTON OAKS RES LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCtContentsu20100720, a127544016zIPSbINSTITUTE FOR ADV STUDY LIBRhFullu20100719, a476396107zTEUbTEMPLE UNIVhFullu20100711, a686110057zYUSbYALE UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCu20101128, aZ0bAP$, CB361 .R66 1993 OVSZ
