Abstract

In early November 2018, the Commission for Book and Library History of the Austrian Association of Librarians (VÖB) spent a week in Rome. Tours of several of the Eternal City’s most important libraries were conducted by PD Dr. Christine Maria Grafinger, including the Biblioteca Casanatense, Biblioteca Angelica, Biblioteca Corsiniana and Biblioteca dei Lincei, as well the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (BAV) in the Vatican State, where Dr. Grafinger was employed for more than thirty years. In the course of the week, Dr. Grafinger was willing to give an interview about her work in the Vatican and her recent retirement.
