	Introduction (Rome Reborn: The Vatican Library & Renaissance Culture)
		For all that Sixtus IV is known to have contributed some of his own books to the library in his lifetime, and to have acquired others, there is also the inescapable fact that Sixtus did not have to begin from scratch.
		That too is surely the spirit of the one significant change in staffing the library in the century that separates Sixtus IV from the "third founder" of the Vatican Library, Sixtus V (1585-90): the establishment about 1540 of three scriptores or academic staff to represent the interests of the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew languages.
		Nicholas V had stated in 1451 that the library was "for the common convenience of the learned." Now, just a century later, a body of learned men was declared to be part of its structure.

	The Consciousness of Closure: Roman Jewry and Its Ghet
		The policies of Sixtus V, whether they were those related to the Jews, the Church, or the Papal State, were no exception to this schema.
		Sixtus' eventual solution to overcrowding in the ghetto -- to expand its area rather than to grant exemptions from ghetto residence, let alone to consider the Roman Ghetto's abolition -- thus hammered the proverbial nail into the coffin.
		Whatever else Sixtus V did, therefore, it is certain that among prospective Jewish spouses, and probably their parents as well, he succeeded in generating frustration and despair.

		Pope Nicholas V (1447-1455) was born Thomas Parentucelli on November 15th, 1397 in Liguria, Italy.
		Nicholas V is generally credited with the creation of the Vatican Library, although Sixtus IV, better known as the pope who built the Sistine Chapel, was primarily responsible for its expansion in the early years (and, some say, its true founder: see the Introduction by Father Boyle to the Library of Congress Vatican Exhibit).
		Although a number of holdings predate the papacy of Nicholas V, his humanistic leanings and his enthusiasm for literature and art were part of his vision for what the Vatican Library should be: A reflection of the court-like atmosphere of the Vatican.
