 | | In cooperation with the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, Italy, Professor Robert Randolf Coleman of the University of Notre Dame is producing this inventory-catalogue of the Ambrosiana's collection of some 12,000 drawings by European artists who were active from the fourteenth through nineteenth centuries. |
 | | Former Director of the Medieval Institute and Doctor of the Ambrosiana Astrik L. Gabriel became coordinator of the project whereby the Institute acquired positive and negative microfilms of all 12,000 Ambrosiana manuscripts; photographs and negatives of 10,000 drawings and 30,000 manuscript illuminations; and 8,000 color slides of drawings and illuminations. |
 | | At an early stage of the project, Dr. Angelo Paredi, former Prefect of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, suggested that a selection of Ambrosiana drawings be sent to Notre Dame for exhibition. |
