ROME REBORN: THE VATICAN LIBRARY AND RENAISSANCE CULTURE
presents some 200 of the Vatican Library's most precious manuscripts,
books, and maps--many of which played a key role in the humanist
recovery of the classical heritage of Greece and Rome. The exhibition
presents the untold story of the Vatican Library as the intellectual
driving force behind the emergence of Rome as a political and
scholarly superpower during the Renaissance. The exhibit will be on
display in the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress from
January 8, 1993 through April 30, 1993. The online
exhibit will be available by anonymous FTP and the World Wide Web
indefinitely. (The current location of the World Wide Web exhibit may
change, however.)
The exhibit is divided into nine (9) sections: The Vatican Library,
Archaeology, Humanism, Mathematics, Music, Medicine & Biology, Nature
Described, A Wider World I: How the Orient Came to Rome, and A Wider
World II:
How Rome Went to China. Each section contains exhibit text and
separate image files for each object. This online exhibit includes not
only objects from the Library of Congress exhibit, but also the
alternate objects (brought from Rome to be used if there were a
problem with one of the primary objects) and items omitted later in
the planning process.
