European vernacular collections, as well as materials in Arabic,
Ethiopic, and Hebrew. Among its other collections, the Library
possesses over 52,000 color slides of manuscript illumination from
collections of the Vatican and other libraries; 2,500 manuscripts on
microfilm from non-Vatican libraries; the microfiche editions of the
Bibliotheca Palatina (consisting of more than 12,000 printed titles

Segreto Vaticano.
The Vatican Film Library maintains an extensive reference collection

manuscripts (complete sets of the Vatican?s published catalogues and
unpublished inventories, and Studi e testi), as well as those of many
other libraries, in addition to numerous works on paleography,
codicology, illumination, and other disciplines to support the study
of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and their texts. Researchers
