Abstract

In 1666 Pope Alexander VII ordered the annexation of the Aniciana Library to the nascent Sapienza University. This library was founded by the Benedictine scholar Costantino Gaetani as a support to the studies of the members of his order, housed in the Collegium Gregorianum de Urbe, that he had founded in Rome. At the death of Gaetani, in 1650, the book collection had passed to the Propaganda Fide, but in the following years, given its state of abandonment and inactivity, the pope decided to transfer it to the Sapienza University.
