  • Vinea Electa
    VINEA ELECTA Bollettino informativo dell'Associazione ex-alunni/e del Pontificio Istituto Biblico Num. O- Anno 1999 EDITORIALE Con questo numero di «Vinea Electa» cominciamo ciò che speriamo si svilupperà in un bollettino annuale per gli ex-alunni ed ex-alunne del Pontificio Istituto Biblico. Il nome del bollettino viene presentato provvisoriamente come «Vinca electa». Queste parole, prese dalla Scrittura (Ger 2,21 ), sono le prime, e quindi il titolo, della Lettera Apostolica con la quale fu fondato l'Istituto il 7 maggio 1909: Vinea electa sacrae Scripturae lff uberiores in dies .fi·uctus tum Ecc/esiae Pastoribus tumfidelibus tmiversis afferret, iam buie ab exordio apostolici Nostri regiminis, decessorum Nostrorum vestigiis insistelltes, omni ope contendimus... ltaque [ ... l Polllijicium lnstitlllum Biblicum in /wc alma Urbe, apostolica Nostra auctoritate, tenore praesellfium, motu proprio, de certaque scientia ac matllra deliberatione Nostris, erigimus ... La lettera porta la finna del Cardinale Merry del Val, Segretario di Stato, «per speciale mandato di Sua Santità (S. Pio X)». Queste parole «Vinea electa» sono pertanto intimamente connesse con l'Istituto, e in sé costituiscono una descrizione applicata alla Sacra Scrittura così bella che sembra opportuno prenderle come titolo. (Per la precisione tale titolo è stato suggerito da Maria Luisa Rigato, consigliere dell'Associazione). Tale titolo è tuttavia provvisorio come del resto è provvisoria tutta l'imposta­ zione del bollettino. Il fatto che porti il numero «0» indica chiaramente che la sua carriera non è ancora cominciata. Vogliamo, Direttore e consiglieri, avere la reazione di voi, ex-alunni c ex-alunne. Vorremmo iniziare modestamente per evitare spreco di energie e denaro, per poi sviluppare il bollettino in una maniera piacevole a voi tutti.
