Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the libraries of the Avignon papal court from 1314 to 1378, based on manuscript inventories produced by the papal treasurers. The significant role the Avignon papacy played in the history of the Catholic Church and Western culture is reflected in their extensive book collections. The inventories provide a valuable source of information about the intellectual and cultural life of the papal court during this period. The book highlights the range of texts held in the papal libraries, which included works on theology, law, philosophy, science, literature, and history. The study examines the acquisition, organization, and use of these collections, demonstrating the ways in which the Avignon papacy engaged with the broader intellectual trends of its time, and shedding light on the development of papal patronage and the transmission of knowledge in the later Middle Ages.
