Description:

This single-volume reference is a comprehensive, systematic overview of the entire holdings of the Vatican Archives. It is an enormously useful tool designed to enhance and expedite access to the archives by a wide variety of scholars in the humanites. Each of seven parts, divided by subject, provides a brief historical overview, then lists the archival records and summarizes their contents and scope.

Synopsis:

This work provides a comprehensive guide to the holdings of the Vatican Archives. Organized into related agency groups, Vatican Archives includes approximately 500 entries that describe the purpose and workings of each administrative agency of the Vatican, followed by a listing of the official records it produced; it is these administrative records that now constitute the archives. The work will serve as a research tool that provides a systematic and heretofore unavailable overview of the archives, enhancing and expediting access by scholars in a broad range of disciplines. _
