520    "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." "The
       book serves as the catalog for a major exhibition at the 
       Library of Congress that presents a selection of the 
       Vatican Library's magnificent treasures."--BOOK JACKET.
