About the Library
Other Collections
In this room are above all printed books of the 16th-18th centuries, although there are also several manuscripts and a selection of illustrated books of the 19th and 20th centuries. They include early editions of Greek and Latin authors, early treatises on art and architecture, compendia of antiquities, and guidebooks to Rome and other Italian cities. There are also some pop-up books and artists' books.
The collection of rare books has been developed during more than a century, through the generosity of many donors, chiefly American. Some of the most notable donors may be identified through bookplates or through provenance records.
The rare book collection can be said to have begun in 1904-05 when Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brandegee of Boston deposited ca. 1,800 books on Rome and the art and artists of Italy at the American School of Classical Studies in Rome then located in Villa Bonghi on Via Vicenza. In 1913 (1911) the American School of Classical Studies merged with the American Academy in Rome, and in 1914, its Library moved to the Janiculum. The handsome new walnut-paneled Library inspired Eleonor de G. Cuyler to endow two alcoves on the subject of ancient art in memory of her brother, Cornelius C. Cuyler; income from the endowment was used not only for current books but also for valuable older works of the eighteenth century and earlier.
Other donors of rare and/or valuable books include: Thomas Waldo Story, son of the sculptor William Wetmore Story; the artist Elihu Vedder; Thomas Spencer Jerome, U.S. consular agent at Capri; J.P. Morgan, Esq. (42 catalogues from his father's collections); the painter William H. Herriman; Lewis Einstein, U.S. diplomat; Albert W. Van Buren, archaeologist and librarian; James Ackerman, FAAR'52, RAAR'75, architectural historian; Halsted Vander Poel, classical scholar; Eugene Berman RAAR'57, painter; musicologist Oliver Strunk and AAR Trustee Robert Pirie. The most recent addition (1995) is a collection of 34 early guides to Rome, gift of Walker Hancock FAAR'28; 8 volumes were bequeathed by Richard Krautheimer and some were bequeathed by Carmen Angleton and Ernest Hauser.
The rare books were intershelved with other books on the same subjects until 1964-65 when a cage was constructed for the most valuable volumes, including 84 rare books donated by Lewis Einstein. This was considered a temporary measure until a new wood-paneled room could be built, and no provisions were made for climate control. By 1980 the cage area was full of large folios piled on the table originally designated for readers.
The master plan (1991) by Studio Einaudi for the renovation of the McKim, Mead & White building revived the plan for a new Rare Book Room. Through the generosity of Barbara Goldsmith and the architectural vision of Michael Graves, this dream has finally been realized. The Barbara Goldsmith Rare Book Room provides an elegant home for precious volumes, while meeting all current technical standards for their preservation.
The room has been enriched with some works of art: the bust of Barbara Goldsmith by sculptor Lewis Iselin, a Cypro-Archaic amphora (bi-chrome IV ware, 7th c. BCE., from Larnaca, Cyprus), the head of an old man from a grave relief (Augustan, said to be from Rome, of white marble) and a portrait bust of Hermarchus (or Metrodorus?), a Roman copy of a Greek original of c. 270 BCE.
The room is open for two hours each afternoon (Monday-Friday) and provides consultation space for up to six readers at a time; about one hundred people visit the room every year and more than two hundred use the room as readers. The rare book collection includes 2,160 volumes; 143 volumes are from the sixteenth century. Of the ca. 220 guidebooks of Rome, 120 are in a small format, usually 12x19 cm and may thus be considered pocket guides used by pilgrims as they wandered through the streets of Rome, each in search of his or her personal vision of this exceptional city.

Conte Leopoldo Cicognara (1767-1834) collected a famous library of approximately five thousand books on art, archaeology, and kindred subjects. The books date, in a virtually unbroken sequence, from the beginning of printing to Cicognara's time. It was the largest and most judiciously selected library in the field ever brought together. To this day its possession establishes the Vatican Library as a generously equipped center for studies in the literature and the history of art and classical archaeology as well as of art criticism, taste, and aesthetics. This project is dedicated to the publication and dissemination of the contents of this collection. It is a joint program of the Vatican Library and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
