Per litteras ad astra
Versione inglese

A – Narrativa

If you think of the Vatican as an archive of secret papers, think again. For many years now, the Vatican Library has been committed to doing just the opposite: making its collections public. Today, it is possible to browse on the internet manuscripts which, for a long time, have been almost inaccessible. In this engaging memoir the author, who has led the computerization of the Library for 35 years, allows us to stroll through its hallways, which « only a handful of people in the world have access to ». We will discover how the computer has contributed to preserving and spreading its treasures, « because culture, knowledge and history are the richest source of prosperity for all peoples ».
