Product Description
This lovely, oversize (9.25x12.25") volume serves as the catalog for a major exhibition at the Library of Congress that presents a selection of the Vatican Library's magnificent treasures. Distinguished scholars discuss the Library's holdings and the historical circumstances of its growth, and 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. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
