Abstract
Only few sources for the history of the library of Santa Maria delle Grazie
in the XV century survive: a medieval inventory, which could give a picture
of the manuscripts and books kept there, is lacking. Anyway, some marginal notes
of the manuscripts allow to identify few volumes belonging to Santa Maria
delle Grazie. The situation of the library of Santa Maria delle Grazie can be
compared to Sant’Eustorgio’s one, even if the last preserves an inventory of the
late XVth century. Few charters mention some generous donors of the library of
Santa Maria delle Grazie, such as the humanist Giorgio Valagussa of Brescia
and Battistina da Camogli, Pier Candido Decembrio’s widow, who ordered to
let in inheritance to the Dominican convent the books which preserved the works
written by her husband.
