"Some Muslim scholars asked us for a room with a carpet for praying. We granted them this request," Don Giacomo Cardinali, vice-prefect of the Vatican Apostolic Library, told Repubblica.it on October 8.
The Vatican's book collection contains “incredibly old Korans,” Don Cardinali continued. “We are a universal library; there are Arabic, Jewish, Ethiopian collections, Chinese unique items.”
According to the vice prefect, the Vatican Library contains a total of around 80,000 manuscripts, 50,000 archival items, almost two million printed books, 100,000 engravings and prints, and 100,000 coins and medals.
