General Topical Research Bibliography A Guide to Source Material on Microfilmed Manuscripts from the Vatican Library‘s Collections Located in the Vatican Film Library at Saint Louis University ©2010 This resource is intended to help researchers find reference works pertaining to manuscripts housed in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (BAV) and available on microfilm in the Vatican Film Library (VFL). The scholarly sources listed here offer paleographical, codicological, textual, decorative, and general information, and include manuscript catalogues, inventories, handlists and indices as well as monographs, editions, facsimiles, periodicals, and exhibition catalogues. The bibliography is organized by subject, author, and genre headings. Each entry provides the source reference, any cross-referenced headings, and the shelfmark of each Vatican Library manuscript cited in the text (in order by collection). An index of headings is included at the end of the bibliography. Authors are alphabetized by most common English name (regional appellations and honorifics are not considered in alphabetizing: thus Geoffrey of Monmouth precedes Gerson, Jean). Vatican Library manuscript collections referenced here are the following: Arch. Cap. S. Pietro Archivio del Capitolo di San Pietro Pal. gr. Palatini graeci Barb. gr. Barberini graeci Pal. lat.
