The Vatican Library, Online Edition: https://www.vatlib.it/ |
"Formally established in 1475, though in fact much older, it is one of the oldest libraries in the world and contains one of the most significant collections of historical texts. It currently has 75,000 codices from throughout history, as well as 1.1 million printed books, which include some 8,500 incunabula." (Wikipedia)
Look. Here's an old Bible. Here's Dante's Convivio. Here's something on Petrarca, and Boccaccio.
Someday perhaps the "Secret Archives" will be available for all, not just the Holy See, to see as well.
