The catalog of precious books, “Libri D’Artista,” represents an extraordinary collection of literary and artistic works, many of which were created on significant occasions such as jubilees, celebrations of mercy, and donations to the Popes.
Artist Books
The collection includes works by internationally renowned artists who have contributed to creating unique books where art and words merge in an extraordinary union. These artist books range from sacred illustrations to contemporary works reflecting spirituality and beauty.
Works Created for Jubilees
During jubilees, solemn events in the Catholic Church that celebrate the anniversary of particular events, special books have been produced. These works often reflect on the themes of forgiveness, mercy, and redemption, with contributions from artists, writers, and renowned scholars.
Donations to the Popes
Many of the books in the catalog have been donated to the Popes on special occasions. These gifts often represent gestures of respect and homage from institutions, artists, or devotees and can vary from luxuriously illustrated Bibles to elaborate theological treatises.
The Popes
The catalog documents works donated or dedicated to specific pontiffs. The presence of unique books associated with each Pope offers a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between the Church and the arts through the prism of figures so important in the recent history of the Catholic Church.
Precious Materials
The Vatican Library preserves not only books but also manuscripts, parchments, and other precious materials that testify to the richness of the literary and artistic tradition linked to the history of the Church.
The catalog of these precious books not only represents a unique cultural and spiritual heritage but also provides a window into the rich history of the Catholic Church through the artistic and literary works that have enriched its library over the centuries.
