Excerpt from The Irish Ecclesiastical Record, Vol. 2: July to December, 1897
Bishop, Cardinal, and Pepe, he was so kind to all-comers that no one went away unassisted. A signal proof of his benevolence is furnished in the foundation of the great Papal Almshouse near the church of the German Campo Santo, where on Mondays and Fridays about two thousand poor people received bread and wine, and every day a dinner was given to thirteen. When he was still a young man and poor he used to say, that if ever he had wealth he would spend it on two things - books and buildings. He was a genuine book collector, most keen in his search for new works, ransacking the libraries wherever he went, looking for fresh treasures. The future founder of the Vatican library gradually became one of the first connoisseurs of his day in books, and was looked upon as a great authority among bibliographers and book collectors. Z - Eneas Sylvius Piccolomini, afterwards Pope Pius II., wrote of him From his youth he has been initiated into all liberal arts; he is acquainted with all philosophers, historians, poets, cosmo graphers, and theologians; and is no stranger to civil and canon law, or even to medicine.'
