Vatican Library Digitizes 4,400 Ancient Manuscripts and Gives Them Away for Free

posted on Oct, 25 2014 @ 03:20 PM

The Vatican Apostolic Libraryis now digitizing its valuable ancient religious manuscripts and putting them online via its website. All of the content is available for free.

The Library was originally founded in 1451 AD and holds over 80,000 manuscripts, prints, drawings, plates and books printed prior to 1500 AD. The titles are all written throughout history by people who had different faiths or religions, from all over the world.

In order to properly digitize the rest of the library, the Vatican is estimating that it will cost €50 million and take fifteen years. They are looking for corporate sponsors and normal people who want to see this work.

So one of the richest Organisatiions in history is looking for backers for this project this is small change really in the big scheme of things and is way overdue to get done .

I would recommend trying the E.U Parliament for the cash as they have just upped the U.K s yearly bill from £8.7 BILLION to £ 10.5 BILLION and £ 1= 1.3euros small change really .

So enjoy the Vatican archives or what we will ever see
