The library at Castel Gandolfo contains more than 22,000 volumes and possesses a valuable collection of rare antique books including works of Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Kepler, Brahe, Clavius, and Secchi. In addition there is a unique meteorite collection from which a knowledge of the early history of the solar system is being derived. Research results are published in international journals.

Ping!

Brother Guy Consolmagno is the curator of their meteorite collection, which is one of the largest in the world. He’s written one or two interesting books.

Christians Save books, ROPers burn down entire libraries that are not their version of their holy book....

Of course Christians take ALL the blame for any Middle Ages shenanigans that involve religions punishing men of science....
