The Vatican’s digitization efforts are focused on their one-of-a-kind historic manuscript collection as well as some of its oldest books, incunabula books printed during the earliest period of typography before 1500.
The works on display comprise a visual and historical tour through sacred art and portraits from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, highlighting pieces by some of history’s greatest masters.
The building where the documents and books will be housed in the future is also used for Rome’s major seminary.
The D.C. museum is displaying a series of prints showcasing seven Roman churches and ancient pilgrimage routes.
‘The Church must bear witness to the importance of beauty and culture, dialoguing with the unique thirst for the infinite that defines the human being,’ the Holy Father said Nov. 5.
The website of the papal library gives researchers and students free access to high-resolution digitized manuscripts, inventories, archival materials, coins, medals, and incunabula, which are books printed in Europe before the 16th century.
The Marega Fund has an immense number of documents collected by a Salesian missionary, many of which were long held in the Salesian University. Among them are two large boxes which Father Mario Marega wanted to give to Venerable Pius XII in 1953.
The disclosure is understandable given the Holy Father’s love of books, how he treasures his own personal library and his skill in teaching the faith.
