AGOSTINO DE MARI FOUNDATION

Our Library in its new headquarters (built in 2005) with its 80,000 volumes and publications, has a big problem: catalog and place the collected works.

From the beginning there was an incessant commitment to realize it with our strength, but with
small results (cataloged and placed 2,000 books, approx.).

In 2008 came to the rescue DE MARI FOUNDATION

from Savona with his generous contributions.

Also entered the field Biblion of Turin with his team of schedulers.
In 2011 the books filed and placed were already about 10,000,including all the Historical Fund
('500,' 600, '600,' 700, '800).

In 2018 - with our great gratitude - the collaboration of the DE MARI FOUNDATION
restarted with the Library Informatization Project.

In October 2018 the Biblion of Turin began enthusiastically the cataloging of the precious
PATRISTIC SECTION

Biblion's Scheduler (October 2018)

PATRISTIC SECTION

The proud of our Patristic Section, certainly is Migne PATRES GRAECI E PATRES LATINI (The Greek and Latin Fathers)

Another precious series CORPVS CHRISTIANORVM SERIES GRAECA & SERIES LATINA

(Modern version of MIGNE with Microfiche started in 1953 and not yet completed ...)

Thanks to a renewed contribution of the

DE MARI Foundation

filing of the books of our library is resumed

At the end of 2018 there were just over 200 titles left to finish the Patristic section. Finally on copletion of this part, we'll move on to a classic of the Theological section, the famous Dictionnaire de Théologie catholique (first half of the 20th century)

We will start, then the Sacred Scripture section, where our Abbot Romano Cecolin (+2016) - for many years a teacher of Sacred Scripture - collected the texts that were most dear to him.

The cataloging will still be the work of the Biblion of Turin,

to which we have renewed our trust.

The patristic series (new city ed.), Currently filed,

has the characteristic reddish covers.

It was then start

to complete the labeling

of theology

Note the famous

Dictionnaire de Thèologie catholique

di A. Vacant & E. Mangenot - E. Amann

(published in 30 vol. from 1923 to 1950)

 Dictionnaire d'Archéologie Chrétienne et de Liturgie
di dom F. Cabrol & dom H. Leclerq
(published in 30 vol. from 1907 to 1953)
with the new (larger) labelsthat had to be added
to previous labeling,
with labels (much smaller).

Final note

MARIO

Arrived on the afternoon of Sunday, March 21, 2021, began the next day and ended on April 28 : initially finished the Sacred Scripture (from location 1479 until 1855, thus filing the remaining 376 texts) and attacked the liturgical section until the location 1688.

P.S.: Both in PATR and in TEO and in S.S, texts have been added, because the Section where they were initially placed was considered inappropriate. They are texts that can also be without a collocation or have an incorrect one: it will therefore be necessary to adequately place them in the Section where they have now been added.

Both Marco and Mario have generously lent themselves to place some historical texts, escaped the prudent professionalism of the last librarian, Don Mauro (3-4 eighteenth century).
