Title: Index Bibliothecae mediceae
Description: This summary and incomplete catalogue of the Medici manuscript collection was made in the early 1530s for Pope Clement VII (Giulio de' Medici), who transferred the collection from Rome to Florence, planning to have it installed in a library designed by Michelangelo. The list is preceded by a brief history of the Medici collection from the time of the exile of Piero de' Medici (1494)
until the forerunner of the present Biblioteca Laurenziana was opened in 1532.
