The Biblioteca Vallicelliana is a library in Rome, Italy. The library is located in the Oratorio dei Filippini complex[1] built by Francesco Borromini in Piazza della Chiesa Nuova.[2][3][4]

The library holds about 130,000 volumes of manuscripts, incunabula, and books.[4][5] Among these, there are about 3,000 manuscripts written in Latin and Greek,[4] including a Bible which belonged to Alcuin dating to the 9th century[2] and a lectionary from the 12th century.[6] The library holds documents from the time of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation.
