Abstract

Studying Bobbio’s cathedral – a recently-established institution when compared to the wellknowm monastery of Saint Columbanus and retaining a secondary role in administering pastoral care to the community – poses a series of difficulties to any research aiming at reconstructing its century-old library. Such a study in fact, is an absolute novelty when compared to the literature which has hitherto been produced. The first part of the paper provides a codicological, paleographic, philological and textual study of the surviving attestations, which have mostly been ignored and are preserved in a surprisingly unexplored institution: Bobbio’s Archivi Storici Diocesani. Thus, also thanks to invaluable inventories, the number of the armaria originally found in the sacristy, as well as a list of the volumes destined to the canons’ study, can be reconstructed. At least eleven ascriptions can be dated with certainty to the 14th-18th century. During these later centuries certain peculiar customs persevered, such as the celebration of Saint Columbanus, and a series of processions which took place intra et extra muros, with stationes in those places of worship which were of most significance to Bobbio’s ecclesiastical and devotional history.
