Le biblioteche agostiniane della Congregazione osservante di Lombardia nel Settecento: Tommaso Verani, il grande ordinatore
No full textLa relazione è dedicata alla figura dell'agostiniano torinese Tommaso Verani, al quale si deve la descrizione e il riordinamento di numerose biblioteche claustrali agostiniane nel corso della seconda metà del Settecento. Figura di rilievo all'interno della Congregazione osservante di Lombardia, si dedicò - oltre che agli studi storico-eruditi e letterari - alla catalogazione e all'incunabolistica, entrando in contatto con studiosi del calibro di Giovanni Battista Audiffredi e Girolamo Tiraboschi
Vir sane eruditissimus. Tommaso Verani, un agostiniano del Settecento
No full texthe paper intends to offer a biographical and intellectual profile of the Augustinian Tommaso Verani (Turin 1729-Chieri 1803). Leading exponent of the Observant Congregation of Lombardy, Verani rearranged and described important Augustinian archives and libraries in central and northern Italy; moreover, thanks to his historical-erudite and bibliographic studies, he was in contact with well-known intellectuals of the second half of the Eighteenth Century, including the Jesuit Girolamo Tiraboschi and the Dominican Giovanni Battista Audiffredi. The paper is followed by the complete transcription of Verani’s
autobiography, preserved in the ms. Bosio 132 of the Central Civic Library of Turin. In fact, this text constitutes an important source not only for reconstructing the life and interests of Tommaso Verani, but also provides numerous information about the history of the Observant Congregation of Lombardy and the Italian socio-cultural panorama of the Eighteenth Century
Storia di un acquisto: come un codice del Petrarca si sia fatto attendere per mesi alla Vittorio Emanuele dopo aver vagato per le librerie antiquarie d’Europa
No full textIl contributo, sulla base della documentazione archivistica conservata, delinea le vicende che portarono, nel 1876, all’acquisizione da parte della Biblioteca nazionale di Roma di un codice petrarchesco quattrocentesco (attuale ms. Varia 3). Le fonti documentarie restituiscono vividamente i rapporti intercorsi tra il Ministero della pubblica istruzione, la Libreria Fratelli Bocca e la Vittorio Emanuele, da collocarsi all’interno della controversa vicenda della vendita dei doppi di provenienza claustrale, nei mesi che videro l’istituzione della Biblioteca nazionale a Roma. Inoltre tali carte permettono di ricostruire i precedenti passaggi di mano del manoscritto, finora sconosciuti, negli ambienti antiquari italo-francesi di fine Ottocento.The paper, based on the archival documentation preserved, outlines the events that led in 1876 to the acquisition by the National Library of Rome of a fifteenth-century Petrarchian codex (current ms. Varia 3). The documentary sources vividly reproduce the relations between the Ministry of Education, the Fratelli Bocca’s Bookshop and the Vittorio Emanuele Library, which must be placed within the controversial affair of the sale of duplicate books from cloistered libraries, in the months that saw the establishment of the National Library in Rome. Furthermore, these documents allow us to reconstruct the previous changes of ownership of the manuscript, hitherto unknown, in the Italian-French antiquarian circles of the late nineteenth century

The librarian profile of the Augustinian convent of Santa Maria del Popolo in the Roman socio-cultural panorama of the 16th century
No full textBetween 1596 and 1600 the Italian regular Orders were called to provide the Congregation of the Index with detailed lists of the books present in the libraries of the convents or in use by individual friars, with the aim of verifying the application of the Index librorum prohibitorum, issued by Pope Clement VIII in 1596. The mss. Vat. Lat. 11266-11326 bring together the numerous inventories sent by the various convents and constitute an extraordinary snapshot of the Italian convent library panorama at the end of the 16th century. Among the libraries of the Augustinian observant Congregation of Lombardy there is also the collection of the Roman convent of Santa Maria del Popolo. This library had had an incredible development since 1472, when Pope Sixtus IV had called the Lombard Augustinians to
govern the Roman convent. The favour shown by numerous popes (Sixtus IV, Alexander VI, Julius II) to the Augustinian friars had led many intellectuals and jurists to donate their books to the convent library, which had thus become very rich. The growth and evolution of the composition of the library during the 16th century can be reconstructed thanks to three ancient surviving inventories: one from 1480/1482, one from the mid-16th century and the description drawn up in 1600 for the Congregation of the Index. Just over 100 years after the arrival of the Lombard friars, the inventory present in the ms. Vat. Lat. 11285 gives us the image of a book collection based on juridical and theological arguments, but there is no lack of volumes of literary or scientific subjects. The reconstruction of the book presence in the convent of Santa Maria del Popolo at the end of the 16th century is completed by the lists of books “ad usum” of
the friars of the convent, also collected in the Vatican manuscript
The literary academy of Arcadia and Queen Christina
No full textIn 1690, the literary academy of Arcadia was founded in Rome, under the patronage of Queen Christina of Sweden, by Giovanni Vincenzo Gravina and Giovanni Mario Crescimbeni. The Academy, one of the greatest literary expressions of Neoclassicism in Italy, had Pietro Metastasio among its most representative poets. Currently the book and archival heritage of the Arcadia is kept in the Angelica Library in Rome, where the Academy is located. Among the preserved 18th century manuscripts, many collect a large number of letters exchanged between the academics. Other letters are kept in the Academy's Archive. The treatment of this material is very complicated: the letters in fact often contain the first draft of poetic texts subsequently edited. A heritage that the Academy wants to enhance today cataloging in the manuscripts catalog of the Italian State: the database "Manus Online". What is the best way to organize the catalog's data? How to relate the letters owned by the Academy of Arcadia and those kept in other institutions, not only libraries but also archives? Can the full digitization support the knowledge and study of this material? The cataloging treatment of the letters of the Arcadia Academy and the poetic texts contained in them constitutes an interesting “study case” for a theoretical reflection on the cataloging of this “border material”
Texts and Context: Readings and Readers in the Roman Monastery of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme
No full textIn 1873 the Kingdom of Italy, after the conquest of Rome, confiscated the properties of the Church, including the Cistercian library of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme: thus began the “war of codes”. The collection was really very precious: not only medieval manuscripts and rare printed books, but also modern manuscripts of considerable interest. These volumes, that are a tangible testimony of the theological and cultural interests of the monks, show traces of the life within the walls of the monastery and offer an original look at the Roman Cistercian reality during the last centuries of the papal dominion over the Urbe
