#367760 - 08/12/11 07:36 PM Taft on PIO's Library: We need help!
Philippe Gebara Member Registered: 05/14/06 Posts: 804 Loc: Rio de Janeiro/ RJ - Brazil	Some months ago, Fr. Robert Taft, the biggest authority on Byzantine Rite, launched an appeal through the media for the preservation of the Pontifical Oriental Institute's Library in Rome. The complete story (very interesting): http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1101184.htm A resumed version in Jesuit News: http://www.jesuit.org/blog/index.php/tag/pontifical-oriental-institute/ A Taft's paper about PIO' s Library: http://www.the-gregorian.com/pdfs/Orientale_Library_Article.pdf

Fr Serge Keleher Member Registered: 06/22/06 Posts: 5599 Loc: Dublin	Having spent much time working with the rare books in the PIO Library, I am only too well aware of the deterioration of the books. Moveover, most of the alumni are later assigned to positions which do not make it possible for them to offer serious donations to the library for the maintenance of the books. The need for help for the PIO Library is most urgent. Fr. Serge
