Summary
….Per secondare l'istruzione delle scuole, e dar ogni ajuto al clero studioso, avevano le Chiese le loro Biblioteche, che de più opportuni libri procurovano fossero arricchite. Di Panfilio Martire dice Saa Girolamo, che nell’ ardore di ben corredare la sacra Biblioteca “non voleva cedere alle premure di Demetrio Falereo e di Pisistrato per cercare ogni sorta di buoni libri. La Chiesa Gerosolimitana conservava una copiosa Libreria, di cui era stato fondatore il vescovo Alessandro, e dagli scritti di questa aver ricavata Eusebio gran parte delle storiche sue notizie egli stesso confessa. etc.
ANDRES, Dell' origine, de' progressi e dello stato attuale d'ogni letteratura, i, 159–160. (Ed. of 1783.)The simple words of our good old English Bible are consecrated sounds; they ring in the depths of our heart like the holiest memories; are associated with fields of conflict; with meek and patient martyrdoms; with, successful missions; with all that is dearest and deepest, and most stirring in the great battle of the Christian life.
GUMMING, Revision…. of the Bible, 290.BOOK III Chapter XVI The Parochial Libraries of England.
It is more than probable that throughout all Christendom the earliest Libraries were Church Libraries. The necessity that those whose lives were to be spent in teaching and preaching should themselves continue to be taught and exhorted, sustained and comforted, by books, must everywhere have made itself apparent.
