Descrizione

Pope Nicholas V (1447-1455) established the papal library in the Vatican as a resource available to scholars and cared by librarians. Since the Vatican library official foundation by Sixtus IV in 1475, the librarian kept registers for books given on loan, which are the main source both on readers and on librarians themselves. The two first registers have been edited by M. Bertòla in 1942. The present research in the Vatican Archives has brought to light documents which add information on librarians (bibliothecarii) and other officials of the library (custodes) for the years 1449-1554. The policy of appointments and details of their biographies may now be better settled. Many of them are renowned humanists: Giovanni Tortelli, Cosme de Montserrat, Andrea Bussi, Bartolomeo Platina, Cristoforo Persona, Giovanni Lorenzi, Tommaso Inghirami, Filippo Beroaldo jr, Girolamo Aleandro, Fausto Sabeo.
