Laboratorio di restauro, 1906Il nuovo laboratorio di restauro della Biblioteca Vaticana, creato attorno al 1890 per volere di papa Leone XIII, pu� essere considerato come uno dei pi� antichi laboratori presenti all�interno di una biblioteca; fu impostato in coerenza con il pensiero di Franz Ehrle, e il suo principale obiettivo � stato e rimane quello di salvare la ricca collezione di manoscritti e stampati dai danni di natura fisica, chimica o biologica, per assicurarne la trasmissione ai posteri.

The Conservation Workshop, 1906The new Conservation Workshop of the Vatican Library, created around 1890 by Pope Leo XIII, is one of the oldest such workshops to be housed in a library. It was set up in accordance with the views of Franz Ehrle, and its main objective was, and remains, that of preserving the rich collection of manuscripts and printed books from physical, chemical and biological dangers, in order to ensure its transmission to posterity. After having moved several times, in 1936 the Workshop was definitively placed under the Chiaramonti Museum, where it is still found today (Iori); it has gone through a number of refurbishments, including that of 2008, thanks to which it will double in size.
