The vatican library is the oldest Ii
brary extant, having been founded in
the fifth century. Among its 225 900
books and $4,000 manuscripts are to be
found some of the rarest treasures of
the literary world. Space would not
even admit of the brefest mention of
the more important of these. but we do
wish to refer to what may be right
fully termed the most priceless of all
the treasures of the vatican library.
1t is the ancient manuscript of the
Scriptures, called the Codex Vaticanus.
and in critical authority inferior to no
other manuscript. 1t is beautiful
unical manuscript-that is it is written
in Greek capitals with no division be-
tween the letters. 1t presents three
narrow columns to the page, except in
the poetical books of the Old Tesla
ment which, as in the CodeX Sinaiti
cus-an ancient manuscript of the
Scriptures in possession of the Russian
government-are written in verses,
clause by clause, according to the
sense. in two columns. 1t is written
on fine thin vellum and contains the
greater part of the Old Testament, and
the New as far as Heb. 9. IA. AS far as
can be learned, this manuscript has be-
lonced to the vatican library since the
fifteenth century. Its earlier history is
unknown, but it undoubtedly dates
hack to the fourth century, The late
