| | One of the library's most important pieces is the "Codex B," the oldest known complete Bible, which dates from about 325 A.D. and is believed to have been one of the 50 bibles Emperor Constantine commissioned. | | | With about 65,000 manuscripts, the Vatican collection is one of the best in the world, said John Lowden, director of the Research Center for Illuminated Manuscripts at the University of London's Courtauld Institute. | | | "That is no small thing, because a book that's out of place is as if the book is lost," says Ambrogio Piazzoni, the library's deputy prefect. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Vatican |
| | The Vatican must be regarded as the administrative centre of the Catholic Church, since it is the residence of the supreme head of that Church, and from it the whole Church is governed. | | | Not far from the entrance of the library stands the pope's unpretentious, large writing-desk, beside which are some seats for visitors. | | | Consequently, all action of the Italian authorities must stop at the gates of the Vatican; the inhabitants of the palace cannot be taxed, subp naed, or summoned to defend themselves. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Vatican Council |
| | According to the dogmatic decision of the Vatican Council, the papacy founded by Christ is the crown and centre of the entire constitution of the Catholic Church. | | | Their import may be briefly expressed thus: in opposition to the Rationalism and Free-thinking of the present day the first Constitution gives authoritative and clear expression of the fundamental principles of natural and supernatural understanding of right and true faith, their possibility, necessity, their sources, and of their relations to each other. | | | The second Constitution settles finally a question which had kept the minds of men disturbed from the time of the Great Schism, and the Council of Constance, and more especially from the appearance of the four Gallican articles of 1682, the question of the relation between the pope and the Church. |

According to Mercati, the later part of the text was burned by the librarian Sirleto. | | | It grew rapidly; by 1455 it had 1200 books, 400 of them Greek; by 1481, a handwritten catalogue by the librarian, Platina, showed 3500 entries--by far the largest collection of books in the Western world. |
