Vatican Library

BBC news is reporting that the Vatican Library is closing until September 2010 for repairs. One wing of the building, designed by architect Domenico Fontana in the 16th century, was found to be "structurally unsafe", the foundations unable to bear the weight of all the books. The Library contains a staggering 1.5 million books and 150,000 manuscripts. Some of them date back to Roman times, like the Codex Vaticanus, one of the oldest known copies of the Bible.
