Statements
The Vatican library is the finest and greatest in the world, being full of manuscripts in the Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Latin, and other languages. Pope Sixtus V. caused it to be built from the very foundation, and spared no cost to enrich it with the best books: but since his death it has been augmented by the Heidelburg library, and that of Christina queen of Sweden.
