Show Famous Vatican Library A curious feature of the Vatican library, In the custody of which Cardinal Car-dinal Ehrle succeeds l he late Cardinal Gasquet, Is the pains which seems to have been taken to conceal it You turn aside In a corridor not far from the sculpture gallery, and pass through a glass-paneled door, screened by a grating. Within Is a great chamber, exquisitely decorated, but, at a firs! glance, without any sign of books The books are there, however tens of thousands of priceless volumes but all In closed cases and enliinets beautifully painted to harmonize with the general scheme of decoration. |
