It begins with the library's establishment under Pope John XXII and meticulously traces its development through the reign of Urban V. At its peak, the library boasted over 2,000 volumes, reflecting the intellectual and cultural climate of the papal court. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the library's holdings, which encompassed diverse subjects such as theology, law, philosophy, and literature.
