The Biblioteca Berenson The
Berenson
Library is a major
resource for
research on the late Middle Ages and Renaissance in Italy. Thoroughly
interdisciplinary, its outstanding collection of books and periodicals
provides comprehensive coverage of the history, fine and applied arts,
music, literature, science,
religion, and philosophy of all regions of Italy from circa 1200
to 1650. It also has
substantial holdings in the related fields of classical and medieval
studies,
cultures around the Mediterranean, and Renaissance
Europe. The library includes an exceptionally rich and
historically important repository of visual materials that is
especially strong for Italian painting and drawing from the 13th to the
17th centuries. A growing archive uniquely documents the lives and work
of the founders of I Tatti, Bernard and Mary Berenson, and of other
influential scholars and cultural institutions of the twentieth century.
