Vatican Manuscripts from the Borgh Fond

The familial collection of the Borghese family, with the addition of parts of the Pontifical library at Avignon. Though the library in Avignon had over 2000 volumes, not all of these returned with Benedict XIII. The remining volumes were slowly dispersed and the final 329 were given by Pope Paul V to Scipio Caffarelli Borghese, Cardinal Legate to Avignon. It was purchased by the Vatican in 1891. The image to the right is from the title page of a copy of Aristotle's Logica Nova, Borgh.130 f.1r. Within the initial 'P' of "Primum opertet" the author is shown teaching.

Currently there are 388 of the 386 items digitized, though the shelfmarks count 390 items. The last items in the Fond are catalogues of the collection made between the 17th and 19th C, and were only transfered into it later. These are shelfmarks 377-379, 382- 386, 388-390.
